This document outlines Hartford Public Schools' 10-year School Facilities Plan from 2009 to 2019. It provides details on planned renovations, renovations in progress, school programs and themes, estimated costs, funding sources, construction start and completion dates, and other relevant information for each school. The plan aims to upgrade all school facilities to support the district's choice-based school system and magnet programs. Major projects include renovating or replacing over 20 schools, with priorities given to schools in poor condition that have not been updated in decades.

Dr. Christina Kishimoto, Assistant Superintendent School Design
and
Dr. Alexander T. Nardone, Chief Operating Officer
The report incorporates data from the following sources:
Hartford Public Schools Facilities Study (2040 Plan)
by Jeter, Cook & Jepson Architects, Inc., May 2000
Analysis of the Hartford Public Schools Facilities Capital Improvements Program
by Harrall-Michalowski Associates, Inc., February 2006
Contributors to this report and/or previous reports listed above include
Roger O'Brien, James Keaney, Claudio Bazzano and John Mena
This School Facilities Plan (2009-2019) was approved by the Hartford Board of Education
on January 27, 2009.

3. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS
1. An All-Choice System of Schools requires that we "renovate as new" schools that have not
had an upgrade in two decades or more, so that ALL schools are attractive to families.
2. There is a desire to make all of our schools environmentally "Green".
3. There is a desire to protect our investment in new, or newly renovated, school buildings
through a sequential, preventative maintenance program.
4. School size will be consistent with the BOE policy guidelines, (#6180 May 2007).
5. All school renovations and program redesigns will support and facilitate the demands of
Sheff v. O'Neill.
6. State construction grant reimbursement for "renovate as new" building projects will
continue to range between 70 - 75% of the total cost.
7. School building improvements, in addition to "renovate as new," will be planned, sequenced
and financed through the CIP and other funding sources when appropriate.
8. While unanticipated building emergencies may occur, the plan to address the deferred
maintenance projects will be followed as approved.
9. There will be schools that close and are "decommissioned".
