Major Capital Improvement Program

Lisbon School Department’sNEASC Accreditation

During Lisbon High School’s reaccreditation visit on October 26, 2005, there were several concerns noted regarding the facility. Although Lisbon High School remains fully accredited we received the following notifications:

May 8, 2005 Warning

March 29, 2009 Probation

2015 (Next Reaccreditation Visit)

Lisbon School Department’sNew/Renovation Analysis

As part of the 2010-2011 Major Capital Improvement application, the Lisbon School Department conducted a New vs. Renovation Analysis of the Lisbon High School. As a result, the engineers and architects confirmed that it was more cost effective and practical to renovate the current facility than to build a new school. The Capital Plan was then updated to include short and long-term plans to renovate the facilities in phases. We are currently on Phase II, Part III which is focused on

the Heating and Ventilation in the “New Wing” classrooms. (HVAC)

Lisbon School Department’sCapital Plan

The Capital Plan is a list of items that the Lisbon School Department deems necessary for Capital

Improvements for the next 5 years. “Capital Improvements” shall mean any construction

project exceeding $10,000, and any equipment purchase to be bonded or to be budgeted for

more than one fiscal year.

(See handout.)
