Capital Project Presented to Board of Education

AUG. 27, 2024 — Last night, the Board of Education heard from district administrators, along with the district architect and construction managers, about a new Campus Forward ’24 capital project that would replace aging systems, address areas in need of repair, enhance student programs, increase safety and security, and ensure the proper upkeep of buildings and grounds. 

The $35 million proposal calls for NO NEW TAXES and would be paid through funds in a district capital reserve fund and state aid, which would reimburse 87% of the project's cost. Monday's presentation was just the first step in a months-long process that will culminate with a vote in December. A presentation given last night to the Board can be found HERE. 

The Board of Education wants to hear from the school community and district residents before approving the project and has established an online form on this page to gather YOUR FEEDBACK.  

Also, a COMMUNITY TOWN HALL will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 25 in the new Middle School Cafe, when district leaders will present the project and answer questions from the community. 

Further updates and information on the capital project will be shared during upcoming Board of Education meetings and posted to Midlakes.org/CampusForward, shared in district newsletters and social media, and elsewhere in the coming weeks. Videos, photos, and a presentation shared at the August 26, 2024 Board of Education meeting can be found by scrolling down this web page.

Meanwhile, the Board of Education, along with district leaders, looks forward in joining the school community in planning and finalizing a capital project that will help maximize use of school grounds and ensure the vitality of campus for years to come.
