ANN ARBOR, MI - Ann Arbor Public Schools has been busy working on a wide range of facility improvements since the passing of a bond in 2019. AAPS has spent $94 million on capital projects during first phase of bond projects, with 75% of expenditures coming via bond funds and another 25% from the district’s sinking fund. The Ann Arbor School Board began considering projects in late 2020 and has approved more than $153 million on a variety of projects, with work completed on air conditioning and LED lighting, roofing, paving projects, the installation of solar arrays on school rooftops, playground projects and theater upgrades. “By the end of 2024 we should be completed with our air conditioning and lighting projects,” Corona said. Projects without cost amounts have not yet received school board approval, however, while providing project funding totals don’t mean work on those projects are complete.
