2017 Bond Projects

Address overcrowding and keep class sizes low

Overcrowding is a result of several factors:

 Increased enrollment in the District is only one factor  All-Day Kindergarten has doubled the number of classrooms needed for kindergarten  There are no split classrooms at the elementary level  K-3 Class-Size reductions has increased the number of needed classrooms at that level  The grade reconfiguration plan will help the elementary problem in the short-term
