The backlog of maintenance requests at Calgary public schools has ballooned by $100 million this year to a whopping $742 million.
Calgary Board of Education trustees last night heard the maintenance backlog has grown by $119 million since last December.
This year's $742-million tally includes $363 million for deferred maintenance and life-cycle replacements of $379 million.
Frank Coppinger, superintendent of facilities, said each year the CBE injects $16 million into deferred maintenance requests.
