Phase 1C architectural firms approved
On August 24, the Board of Education approved architectural firms for Phase 1C bond issue projects for the $370 million bond issue. Contractual work on those schools will begin immediately. The district tried to match architects that did the original design on school additions during the 2000 bond issue whenever possible.

The projects in Phase 1 were selected based on school and district needs, to provide a balance between small and large projects, and to spread bond projects throughout the community.  This is the most efficient and cost-effective way to implement the bond plan. The district's goal is to have all Phase 1 projects under design by the end of the calendar year.

The overall bond issue plan is anticipated to be completed in 5-7 years.
