The exhaustive, yearlong assessment of the system's 182 campuses rated the system's overall infrastructure as well as 69 percent of the schools as "very poor." The assessment, which included a review of everything from roofs to handrails, also found that more than a third of the school system's available space was going unused though it costs millions to maintain.
