School District – Pavement Improvement Initiative Few school districts in Colorado have improvement plans developed for school pavements. Most react to routine maintenance while few conduct preventive maintenance and stiller fewer invest in capital improvements. This initiative would attempt to make inroads to increase funding for pavement improvements by school districts in Colorado. We would schedule to exhibit at the annual school board meeting, attempt to communicate with facility managers, and use a case study of what Jefferson County Schools are doing to increase funding for pavements.
