3:36 Emergency Repairs Cost More

Emergency repairs cost more than planned projects.

When major systems in school buildings fail, the cost to fix them is often 30 to 50 percent higher than planned work done ahead of time. Here’s why:
Repairs must happen right away to keep schools open
Emergency work limits contractor choices
Urgent jobs often cost more
Repairs usually fix only one problem, not the whole system
Materials must be ordered quickly instead of planned ahead

Bond projects allow the district to replace aging systems before they break, not after. This helps avoid emergencies, lowers costs, and reduces disruptions for students.

Planning ahead helps protect taxpayer dollars and supports strong schools and inspired students.
