Baltimore City school maintenance problems, such as the cold schools crisis, took center stage Wednesday in Annapolis.Discussions started at the Board of Public Works meeting on Wednesday morning and spilled into committee hearings in the afternoon. Baltimore City school heating and air conditioning problems were dissected at the meeting. The panel zeroed in on maintenance struggles, spending practices and how projects are prioritized. Comptroller Peter Franchot led the charge, bringing in a prop -- a split HVAC system -- to make a point. The split HVAC system is used for heating, air conditioning and ventilation. The comptroller suggested the city look into purchasing something similar. "What needs to happen in order for city schools to fix these planning and management issues," Gov. Larry Hogan said. "Having a very high-level, extremely experienced individual that is a point of contact, that is responsible for maintenance, responsible for planning, responsible for construction, responsible for the financing," said Robert Gorrell, executive director of Interagency Committee on School Construction. BPW did not invite city school officials to the meeting, but Dr. Sonja Santalises, CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools, was in Annapolis to brief lawmakers she said the district ha been consulting with experts. "We have a number of private partners who are providing assistance and guidance," Santalises said. School officials also briefed a Senate and House committee on the system's financial health. Lawmakers bailed them out last year. "We are confident that we will have revenues that will exceed expenditures in fiscal year '18," said John Walker, interim chief financial officer. The committee seemed pleased to hear that the school system goes through as many as a half-dozen different audits. School officials found money for new projects -- $10.4 million for air conditioning, $5.4 million to develop water filtration system and more money for schools that have a student body with a high rate of poverty. "A school that has that higher concentration of poverty will receive an additional $200 per student for that school," Santalises said. School officials told lawmakers the system's financial health looks good until at least 2021.
