District Facilities Plan - Phase II Update

The Board will continue discussion as to when to place the Bond Levy on the ballot in the future.

The District's Facilities Plan - which was approved by the Board of Education in February of 2016 - consists of a three-phase plan to build new schools. Phase I of the project is nearly complete as the District passed a Bond Levy in November of 2016 to construct two new elementary schools, while closing down Hadden, Hale Road, Leroy and Madison Avenue elementary schools. The two new elementary schools will open in time for the 2019-2020 school year. 

Phase II would allow the District to build a new 6-12 Complex on the current Riverside Campus property and then the District would ultimately convert LaMuth Middle School into a third elementary school as part of Phase III (which would require no additional funding). Melridge Elementary and/or Buckeye Elementary would then close (depending on enrollment at that time). 

Facilities Plan updates will be provided as they become available.
