🏫 Aging school facilities alert! 💔 In 2022, a facilities assessment revealed it'll cost up to $18 million over 10 years to fix our two school buildings. The elementary, built in 1959, has had renovations in 2000, 2003, and 2014. 🛠 A portion of the HS was built in 1894 with additions to the school in 1949, 1954, & 1965. Portions of our buildings have inefficient heating/cooling along with ADA and fire code issues. Despite efforts, a $12 million new build and renovation referendum in 2023 fell short of the needed 60% voter approval, with YES votes at 54.9%. 🗳️ The struggle with older facilities impacts our ability to attract and retain families and teachers. 💼 Let's work together for a brighter future! ✨
