Throughout the 2015-16 school year, the Sherwood School District Board of Directors and District leadership met with community members related to student enrollment and capacity of our current buildings. \u00a0All Sherwood schools are either nearing or over capacity. \u00a0The objective of these meetings was to develop guiding principles for a potential bond. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on these guiding principles from the community, the final bond measure recommendations included projects that would:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Relieve existing overcrowding and meet projected enrollment needs throughout the District: <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Improve student safety and security district-wide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Protect community investment in existing facilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Address deferred maintenance needs of school buildings to improve indoor air\u00a0quality and reduce maintenance costs to improve learning environments for\u00a0students and teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perform deferred maintenance projects, such as: Improving\/replacing interior and\u00a0exterior building components, seismic upgrades, roofing, plumbing, and heating\u00a0and ventilations systems, to allow for continued efficient operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Convert the existing Sherwood High School to be the District\u2019s one middle\u00a0school, which will provide increased Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts &\u00a0Math (STEAM) opportunities in small learning communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Convert existing Sherwood Middle School and Laurel Ridge Middle School\u00a0buildings to elementary schools, to provide expanded learning opportunities and\u00a0increased enrollment capacity in the District for elementary learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Relocate district programs and departments to the current Hopkins Elementary\u00a0site. 4. Create 21st Century learning opportunities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As project planning and work efforts get underway on all of the above, bond-funded projects, we will expand this web site to provide more detailed information. <\/strong>Stay tuned!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Throughout the 2015-16 school year, the Sherwood School District Board of Directors and District leadership met with community members related to student enrollment and capacity…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"parent":1418,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
