Take Care of Aging Classrooms & Buildings

Our school district is known for high academic achievement, but many of our high school learning environments are unable to support modern teaching and learning. The average age of our school buildings is 63-years-old, and it’s been 31 years since the community’s last major investment in our schools!  Much-needed renovations include installing walls at open-space classrooms at 4 elementary schools and upgraded classroom, common, and hallway spaces at Darby Middle School.
