Facilities, Safety and Security Work Summary
2011-2015
The district completed a comprehensive district-wide facility study in 2011.
Following the 2011 study, the district completed $10 million in facility work, including a district-wide technology network infrastructure upgrade.
- $1 million science-wing remodel at the high school
- $3 million addition to Prairie View Elementary School to accommodate the closing of Trenton Elementary School
- $1 million electrical upgrade at the middle school
- $3 million in roof replacements, parking lot maintenance, heating and cooling maintenance and upgrades at all schools, and miscellaneous maintenance across nine buildings

The district addressed all significant facility needs as identified in the 2011 facility study, leaving only large scale mechanical and remodeling needs at the high school and safety and security needs throughout the district.
With this work completed, the district turned its attention to the needs of our high school facility and safety and security needs across the district.
