Mendon-Upton Regional School District--      Capital Needs Survey
A school capital plan serves as a vital financial roadmap for educational institutions, detailing the allocation of funds for major investments, projects, and asset acquisitions within the school environment. Its primary purpose is to effectively manage and optimize the school's capital assets and expenditures.

The Mendon-Upton Regional School District has formed a Capital Planning Subcommittee who is working on reviewing analyses of all of our facilities, fields, and technology needs to help guide in the development of a district capital improvement plan.  If you would like to learn more about our current capital planning process please go to our capital planning webpage: https://www.mursd.org/page/capital-planning for more information and updates.

We have a comprehensive maintenance and improvement plan within our operational budget and our operations and maintenance department work diligently on preventative maintenance and replacing items as needed.  From a funding standpoint, the nature of Capital Improvement Projects is that they primarily fall outside of the operational budget due to the significant costs of the projects and the non-recurring nature of the needs (i.e. roofs, windows, carpets, fields, auditoriums, HVACs, etc.).  

As part of this capital improvement plan development, we are seeking public comment. The district has multiple areas of need and appreciates your input in the decision-making process to ensure that community input is provided as part of the the capital planning process.
