在2017年3月14日的公开董事会会议上，卡尔加里教育委员会董事会批准了2018-2021学校资本计划的三年，要求省政府投资建设20所新学校和对11所学校进行大规模改建。

“我们的学校和项目依然面临着入学人数的增长。尽管今年我们新开了一些学校，但我们迫切需要获得更多的学校和改建项目的批准，以满足这一增长，并为学生提供优质的学习机会。”教育委员会主席乔伊·鲍温-艾尔表示。

本学年，卡尔加里教育委员会新开了15所学校，并为克里斯汀·梅克尔学校和艾尔波公园学校建造了两个新校舍；此外，针对邦尼斯和杰克·詹姆斯高中学校的现代化改建已经完工，以提供升级后的职业和技术（CT）学习空间给学生。还有第三个改建项目已完成，将原哈罗德·W·赖利学校改建为新的原住民学习中心。

这些新的学习空间使得2016-2017学年的整体学校利用率达到了82%。然而，卡尔加里教育委员会预测，未来五年入学人数将从当前的119,147名学生增加到130,404名学生。如果不批准建设额外的学校，到2021-2022学年学校利用率预计将再次提升至86%。

新的计划确定了一个优先级系统的资本清单，包括新学校建设和重大改建请求，这是根据阿尔伯塔教育部的要求。所有项目的总成本超过585百万美元。

卡尔加里教育委员会并不决定何时建造新的学校。具体安排新学校何时以及如何建设的权力由省政府决定。每年，学校委员会向阿尔伯塔教育部提交三年学校资本计划，该计划确定了新学校建设和重大改建的优先事项。

“该计划更加强调对初高中学校进行重大改建，以升级这些老化设施，并确保它们能够为学生提供升级后的职业和技术基础课程和专业课程。”设施和环境服务主任丹尼·布雷顿说。

2014年，经过全面审查包括公众参与，教育委员会批准了修订后的学校资本项目排名准则。这些准则是数据驱动的，并为所有社区建立了公正和平等的流程。

最终计划需要在2017年4月1日前提交给阿尔伯塔教育部。

目前，卡尔加里教育委员会还有五个额外的资本项目和两个高中重大改建项目正在进行中。

​At the March 14, 2017 public board meeting, the Calgary Board of Education Board of Trustees approved the Three-Year School Capital Plan 2018-2021 requesting 20 new schools and 11 major modernizations from the Provincial Government.

“We continue to see enrolment growth across our schools and programs. Despite the new schools that were opened this year, it is vital that additional schools and modernizations be approved to help us keep up with growth and continue to offer quality learning opportunities for our students,” said Joy Bowen-Eyre, Board Chair.

This school year the CBE opened 15 new schools and two replacement facilities for Christine Meikle and Elbow Park schools; as well, it completed modernizations at Bowness and Jack James high schools to upgrade career and technology (CT) learning spaces for students. A third modernization was also completed at the former Harold W. Riley School site that is now the home of the new Aboriginal Learning Centre.

These new learning spaces have brought the overall system utilization rate to 82 per cent for the 2016-17 school year. However, the CBE forecasts an enrolment increase in the next five years from our current 119,147 students to 130,404 students. If additional schools are not approved, it is projected the system utilization rate will rise again to 86 per cent by the 2021-22 school year.

The newest plan identifies a single prioritized capital list consisting of both new school construction and major modernization requests, as required by Alberta Education. The total cost of all of the projects is over $585 million.

The Calgary Board of Education doesn’t decide when new schools are built. The Provincial Government determines where, when and how new schools are built. Each year, school boards submit a Three-Year School Capital Plan to Alberta Education. The plan identifies priorities for new school construction and major modernizations.

“The plan puts an increased priority on major modernizations for our junior and senior high schools to upgrade these aging facilities and ensure they are able to offer students enhanced Career and Technology Foundations and Studies programming.” said Dany Breton, superintendent Facilities and Environmental Services.

In 2014 the Board of Trustees approved revised ranking criteria for school capital projects after a thorough review of the criteria, including a public engagement. The criteria are data driven and establish a fair and equitable process for all communities.

The final plan needs to be submitted to Alberta Education by April 1, 2017.

The CBE currently has five additional capital projects  and two high school major modernizations under development.
