Greetings!
The Prince George’s County Board of Education and the Department of Capital Programs (DCP) invite you to participate in a Public Hearing on the FY 2028–2033 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
Prince George’s County schools are among the oldest in Maryland. Many buildings need significant upgrades to provide safe, modern spaces where students can learn and thrive.
The FY 2028–2033 CIP is a six-year budget plan for school construction, modernization, and major facility investments. While funding is approved one year at a time, the CIP directs how resources are allocated in the near term. The Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP), our 20‑year facilities strategy, will begin a comprehensive, long-term update process next month that will guide priorities well into the future. Now is the time to weigh in on both short‑term needs identified in the CIP (eg, windows, HVAC, parking lots) and long‑term priorities (eg, new schools, modernizations, over-enrollment relief) shaping the new EFMP.
We are in the most productive era of PGCPS school construction since the 1970s—yet the need still outpaces available funding. That is why the Board of Education has made school construction funding a top legislative priority this year. Your voice can help strengthen this advocacy and secure the resources needed to deliver the modern, safe schools our scholars deserve.
We look forward to hearing from you!
