Creation/Enhancement of Science Technology Laboratories Costs
Renovations and installations of furniture/equipment are estimates provided by the school district Facilities Service Department. Each school will be slightly different and will require detailed planning.
Science Equipment Costs (based on an estimated number of thirty students per class session in elementary schools, ranging from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade per State approved bid with ETA Cusenaire): Equipment necessary for a basic lab are marked**
