Richmond schools won’t receive extra $8 million

The only change City Council offered in next year’s funding is an increase in the school system’s capital improvement allotment from about $500,000 to $685,000. That money is set aside for general maintenance of the city’s 50 or so school buildings.

A school system-produced list of capital improvement needs includes $6.1 million in work for 2013 and $104.7 million in the next 10 years. Link
