SMART PROGRAM UPDATE
The SMART Program is an $800 million bond that provides critically needed funding for Broward County Public Schools. SMART addresses elements of Safety, Music & Art, Athletics, Renovations, and Technology at schools across the District.
The Renovations element of the SMART Program largely focuses on improving schools and the educational experience of students. A six-step process is put in place to ensure that all Primary Renovation projects are completed efficiently. Northeast High School is in the Hire Contractor phase of its Primary Renovations (PR). Once the contractor is permitted to proceed with construction, renovations will begin across campus. As a separate SMART Bond project, the school's Classroom Addition (CA) is currently in the Design phase where construction drawings are being prepared, and soon a contractor will be hired to begin work on improving the campus.
