Building a Brighter Future: Bond Project Updates
In May 2024, the Bloomingdale community made a significant investment in the future of our schools by approving a $17 million bond proposal. This funding supports essential improvements across all three campuses to ensure our students' safety, comfort, and educational success.
Series 1 projects are underway, with construction scheduled for summer 2025. These improvements include roof replacements, secure entry renovations, new boilers, and redesigned parking lots. Series 2 projects will follow, focusing on additional upgrades in summer 2026.
We are deeply grateful for the community's support as we work to enhance our schools. See below for updated information, and stay tuned for progress updates as these exciting projects take shape!
