Capital Projects

Kearsley Families,

It is our mission to provide our students and families with the best possible education while creating safe and innovative learning environments for every single Kearsley Hornet.  

It’s truly an exciting time in our district as we have already broken ground on our initial phase of the May 2022 Bond project improvements.  I want to provide you with an update of some of the building projects we’ve completed recently and those that are scheduled for completion in the near future.  We have worked hard to leverage funding from a variety of sources to ensure we can deliver upon all the projects included in the May 2022 bond scope and well beyond.  

Below you will find a summary of the largest improvements that have been recently completed along with those scheduled for completion in the future.  Additionally, we have included the funding source so that you can see exactly where these dollars are coming from.  We are committed to being good stewards of our community resources and maintaining transparency about what has taken place and what’s coming next.  Definitions with further explanation about the various funding sources are included at the end of this document. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.  Thank you for your support and partnership in your child’s education.

Sincerely,

Paul Gaudard, Superintendent
