Capital projects funding is developed to address a school district's larger-scale renovation or replacement needs. The program is divided into two parts - Major and Minor Capital Improvements.

 

Minor Capital Improvement projects address larger maintenance or equipment replacement needs.  Examples of a typical Minor Capital improvement project might be a boiler replacement, roof work, or work on a set of tennis courts.  Districts manage the use of Minor Capital funding in order to maintain the physical plants as required.  Minor Cap also has an arm called MCI/VE.  These funds are set aside to replace Vocational Education equipment as it ages.  An example of a Minor Cap/VE project would be to replace an air compressor in the automotive shop area in a high school.
