How did the district come up with the essentials in addressing its facility needs?

The district used a thoughtful, needs-based process to identify these projects. We reviewed the scope of the previous bond proposal and evaluated facility repairs, replacements, and maintenance needs anticipated over the next 10 years.

The district also worked with multiple professional companies to assess our current HVAC systems, control systems, and boilers, and to provide cost estimates for the recommended work.

In addition, we evaluated safety and security needs throughout the district to identify essential upgrades. The final list focuses on projects to keep our schools safe and functional for years to come.
