The city of Boston will put $25.1 million in funds toward door and window replacement at seven public schools, the mayor’s office announced.
Schools receiving renovations include Young Achievers Science and Math K-8 in Mattapan, Community Academy of Science and Health in Dorchester, TechBoston Academy in Dorchester, Ellis Elementary School in Roxbury, McKay K-8 School in East Boston, Curley K-8 School in Jamaica Plain and Charles Sumner Elementary School in Roslindale.
Nearly 3,000 windows will be replaced at these seven schools by the fall 2017.
The project leverages nearly $16.4 million in Massachusetts School Building Authority Accelerated Repair Funds, a program focused on performing energy-efficient and cost-saving upgrades, which will result in direct operational savings for the school district.
“This investment underscores the Boston Public Schools’ mission to provide the best facilities and education for our children,” BPS Superintendent Tommy Chang said in a statement. “As we move forward with our 10-year BuildBPS plan, the city’s strategic framework for facilities’ investments will continue to be guided by what education – and more importantly, what the jobs of the future – will look like over the next ten years.”
