Project Benefits

Every student benefits – New buildings are more equitable for all – from high achievers to those with learning challenges, special needs, handicaps, and other underserved student populations.

More money into each classroom – Savings from efficient, healthier schools are invested into the education of our children instead of maintaining outdated facilities. 

Flexible classrooms for the future – Dynamic classrooms designed for group work and collaboration better prepare our students for college, the military or a career. To do this, we need fresh, open classrooms, not the spaces built over six decades ago.

New Auditorium –  A public auditorium will be a source of pride for the whole town. Currently, our school cafeterias double as substandard performance spaces, or we’re forced to rent other rooms across the area. 

New Career Pathways through Vocational Tech – New critical “hands on” courses to add to our existing Career Pathways engineering, bio-medical and other programs to give our students a leg up in today’s ever evolving world economy.

New Athletic Spaces & Recreation Areas – New gymnasium with two basketball courts and an additional indoor sports facility and new athletic fields are included in the project, making the Gaudet Athletic Complex one of the premier facilities across the region.

Building New Is Far Less Expensive – Independent findings from November 2021 showed about $190 million in repairs were needed to the district's four schools before one wall or ceiling was opened. And we get the same outdated, old and tired schools, with with "Band-Aids" and none of the additional educational, energy, safety, health or related improvements.
