distinction by Magnet Schools of America. We also&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:47.440

00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:04.960
that's going to provide some much needed delayed&nbsp;
maintenance repairs that some of our schools have&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:10.720
been waiting for throughout the district. some&nbsp;
key projects to highlight. Rincon University High&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:16.720
School is going to get that long awaited locker&nbsp;
room renovation. Pueblo High School's gym. They're&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:20.720
going to get new bleachers that they've been&nbsp;
waiting for. Those are some examples of some&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.720
great projects we're going to be able to tackle&nbsp;
with this year's capital budget. So, as always,&nbsp;&nbsp;
