About the project

The new elementary schools are being constructed with funding provided by the construction bond approved by voters in 2008. Bond funds can only be used for projects associated with the 2008 bond measure, like overcrowding and repairs, and cannot be used for school operations. Thanks to the community's support of the bond, our schools are safer, healthier and less crowded learning environments for students.
