If you’ve
visited Foundation Field recently, you’ve seen progress on the first project of
the 2018 school bond. An additional 200 parking stalls will be added to the district
stadium and serve visitors to our athletic complex as well as our staff and
students as PLSHS continues to grow. We anticipate the parking lot expansion
will be completed by the end of November.
In addition to the work at Foundation Field, we have made progress in other key areas. Secondary door locks have been installed at five elementary buildings: Portal, Patriot, Walnut Creek, Hickory Hill, and Bell. These door locks will add an extra layer of security for our students and staff in these buildings. We have also begun planning for the renovation of Anderson Grove. New classrooms and library space, additional parking, an updated kitchen, and a more secure front entryway are included in the design. The building plans are being finalized and we anticipate construction will begin as early as this winter.
We will provide regular communication updates to our community so they can see their tax dollars at work. To that end, we are asking for students to serve on our “Bond Squad.” These student volunteers will serve as key communicators as we record videos and provide bond project updates to our parents and community members. Please contact your building principal if you would like more information.
These bond projects are important to me as both a school leader and a parent. My oldest daughter is a freshman at PLSHS, and I have another daughter and son who attend Bell Elementary. The safety upgrades and building renovations will directly impact the quality of support the District offers my children and yours. I am so proud of our community for prioritizing safety and supporting this bond. I take your trust very seriously, and we will do everything we can to spend your tax dollars responsibly and communicate our progress in a transparent manner. Thank you for your support and as always, Be Kind!
