Oak Creek Elementary School and Uplands Elementary School Renovations
- The Uplands and Oak Creek project is currently in the design stage. The Bond Team continues to work with staff and stakeholders regarding design elements. A Design Advisory Team, which includes staff and community members, is assisting in the development of design elements associated with Oak Creek.
- The Bond Team has selected a contractor for the work, and they are integrating with the team.
- Construction will begin with Uplands, to prepare the school to accept the students and staff from Oak Creek. The Uplands project includes seismic upgrades, technology upgrades, a secure vestibule, and an upgrade of the building's kitchen. The Uplands project is slated to be completed during the summer of 2019. Once complete, Oak Creek staff and students will be moved to Uplands for the 2019/2020 school year.
- The Oak Creek project includes an extensive re-cladding of the building – brick, siding, window replacement, and new roofing. The project will also include a new makerspace, as well as several interior modifications to allow for better use of interior space.
- The Oak Creek project is scheduled to be completed in early summer of 2020, with the building reopening for the 2020/2021 school year.
Safety and Security
- During the summer of 2018, the District installed secure vestibules in four buildings – Hallinan, Lake Grove, Palisades, and Forest Hills. We are in the design/planning stage for secure vestibules at the high schools.
- The District has also hired a security consultant. This consultant will assess the District's facilities and current safety and security protocols. The consultant will work directly with the Bond Team and District leadership to develop a prioritized list of recommendations for security upgrades. The work of the consultant will inform projects currently in design, and help the District plan for future projects.
