(a) A typical BCA for a school comprises of a number of identified maintenance items, each based on different building components. For example, the roof may require repairs, doors may require painting, ceilings may require painting, etc. Each maintenance item is given a risk ranking on a scale of 1 (highest priority) to 9 (lowest priority). Risk rankings are derived from a risk assessment model that factors in the probability and severity of the consequences of not addressing individual maintenance items.
(b) An overall risk ranking is not applied to each school and as such, schools are not ranked against each other for the allocation of maintenance funds. The last BCA was completed in 2001. The BCA identified a total maintenance need for all schools of $88 million.
(c) Preventive maintenance funding allocated to districts for 2003-2004 amounts to $13 million. In addition, a further $1 million has been allocated for centrally administered preventive maintenance programs.
(d) A budget of $29 million has been set aside for building related breakdown repair work at schools during 2003-2004.
