2020 Bond ADA/Accessibility Project Overview
The 2020 Bond approved by voters allows for $33.8 million in main-level accessibility upgrades. Funds approved for accessibility will allow the District to remove barriers at the main level of all school buildings district-wide.
What ADA/Accessibility projects are happening through the 2020 Bond?
Main-level accessibility/ project construction work includes upgrades to areas of the school that allow all people to reach the main entrance from the bus drop-off area and/or parking lot, access to essential programming; including an individual's classroom(s), the cafeteria, library, gym, and one or more accessible restroom(s).Projects were prioritized according to eligibility for federal and state funding and cost of each project and divided into two phases.
