Bond-Funded Capital Projects
Based on both Warwick Public Schools’ Long Term Master Plan – SMMA Report and the State’s Facilities Assessment Report – Jacobs Report, the School Committee adopted various capital plans and established a Building Committee. The plans and Building Committee are being organized to address long overdue repairs, maintenance and enhancements to all school buildings planned to be used by the district for the next 20 years. This page is dedicated to providing the public with timely and accurate information as the planning, funding and execution of the district’s capital plans unfold over the next 5 years.
WPS Building Committee
The Building Committee is charged with advising the School Committee on proposed bond funded capital projects. In the event bond funds are secured, the Building Committee is charged with overseeing a proper and most efficient means in administering bond funds for the approved capital projects of the School Committee.
