Facilities Update
Facilities Update
The Board of Education's current long-term facilities plan is set to expire in 2027. A new 10-year plan for school space is under development. The new plan will address short and long-term solutions to elementary school space issues and the need to modernize many of our schools through building renovations.
This is a complex issue with no easy answers. The Board is still in the early research stage, and no decisions have been made. We encourage you to learn more. Please visit our Facilities Planning page for current information. We will continue to keep you updated on the issue and, as always, we welcome in-person and written public comments.
