<p>That Whereas Cambridge Public Schools (CPS) strives to provide equitable learning environments across the district; and</p>
<p>Whereas the twelve Cambridge Public Schools elementary school buildings differ in age, quality, and condition of maintenance; and</p>
<p>Whereas the City of Cambridge shares responsibility with CPS for school buildings; and</p>
<p>Whereas the Cambridge Public Schools administration has estimated that CPS buildings will require $132 million in maintenance upgrades over the next five years, which is an average of $26 million per year;</p>
<p>Therefore, the School Committee requests that the CPS Administration invite members of the Cambridge City Council to tour CPS buildings that are in the greatest need of maintenance, and that this tour, if the invitation is accepted, take place before the end of the 2018-2019 school year.</p>
