Cherry Drive Elementary Bond Projects
Cherry Drive Elementary is slated to receive a wide range of improvements and upgrades through the 2024 bond, with between $4.1 million and $5 million in bond-funded improvements.
Interior updates will refresh classrooms and common spaces with new finishes, flooring and modern furnishings that create more functional and comfortable environments. Building systems will be strengthened with new heating and cooling equipment, plumbing and sewer upgrades and improved lighting.
Safety measures including upgraded classroom locks, fire alarms, intercom systems and door sensors will help boost building security. For investments to school grounds, the playground will be replaced, and the roof, doors and other exterior features will be restored or replaced. These investments will ensure Cherry Drive remains a safe, modern and vibrant place for students to learn and grow for years to come.
Projected construction budget:
$4.1 million to $5 million
Bond Investment Areas at Cherry Drive Elementary
The 2024 bond is focused on improving and updating facilities across the district. All bond projects will benefit students, staff and the community by investing in our buildings and – by extension – investing in our community. These investments vary from paving and resurfacing projects to major interior and exterior overhauls to update school furnishings and finishes.
All schools are also receiving comprehensive IT upgrades through the 2024 bond. These upgrades will support faster network connections and support advanced classroom tools. IT projects will also boost school safety and security, with improved security cameras, exterior door sensors and updated safety systems.
