Strategic Focus Areas Great Teachers, Great Leaders A highly effective, supported teacher in every classroom and a strong leader in every building. Engage Every Child. Every Day.

FACILITIES CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS   Hamilton County maintains over 7 million square footage and 82 buildings and 2,712 classrooms, including 105 portables. The value of land, buildings, equipment and improvements totals $333,130,395. The average age of buildings is 40 years old. Buildings Elementary 43 Middle 14 High 19 Other Buildings 6 CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Capital Maintenance & Repairs fund budget of $3,000,000 covers repairs and minor renovations to buildings. Selections and funding of new schools, and major renovations or improvements, are determined by County Government and are not included in HCDE’s budget. Currently HCDE schools have a $250,000,000 deferred maintenance project listing. This is partially due to aging infrastructure, with an average building age of over 40 years. Our priority for funding is always students and academics- the best investment for our schools.
