Bond Issue on April 5 Ballot
In addition to the high school expansion, other elements of the plan include:
- North high school building becomes second middle school
- Modifications to Bridle Ridge and Eagle Glen to serve grades K-5
- Convert Shull Elementary into an Early Childhood Center
- Maintenance projects throughout the District
The Long Range Facility Plan, which was unanimously approved by the Board on Sept. 24 after a yearlong development process, addresses the majority of space needs anticipated by the District over the next 8 to 10 years.
The plan includes the most aggressive timeline possible to resolve the two-building high school situation, addresses the near-capacity enrollment challenge at the middle school, creates less transitions overall for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade and will finally allow our district to offer a variety of early learning choices for families with pre-schooled aged children.
