Bond Construction Update Fall 2024

Over the past year, architects have met with design teams to form the design work for the additions and renovations at the secondary schools that were approved by voters last fall. Drafts of design concepts for Oltman and Woodbury middle schools and East Ridge, Park and Woodbury high schools are available to view online. 

Recently, the School Board heard a middle school construction update from Assistant Superintendent Tyrone Brookins. The update included draft floor plans and renderings of project areas within Woodbury and Oltman middle schools. 

Woodbury Middle School’s remodel consists of:

• Remodel existing space (old pool area) for additional multipurpose space

• Creation of a secure entry / Moving the main office

• Music suite renovations / Creation of 3rd music room

• Create new bus road to revise traffic flow for safety

Oltman Middle School’s remodel consists of:

• Additional classrooms, increasing capacity to approximately 1,300 students

• Expansion of cafeteria and kitchen serving areas

• New STEM and special education spaces

After the design phase is completed for each project, construction permits for the work will be secured and the request for proposals (RFP) bidding process for the construction will begin. Later this year more draft design concepts will be released for the other secondary schools. 

The design process will begin for Pine Hill, Bailey and Grey Cloud elementary schools in early 2025, followed by Red Rock, Pullman, Crestview, Royal Oaks and Hillside elementary schools later next year.
