Planning for Our Future

Capital Projects Underway...Your Local Capital Levy Dollars at Work!

Your CVSD Capital Facilities Committee and staff have been busy working on future plans for schools beginning now, in addition to a 25-year long-range plan. Although projects listed in the Capital Facilities levy approved by voters in February 2024 were not slated to begin until 2025, the facilities department got a head start in summer of 2024 with sidewalk and concrete repairs. Cost-efficient stadium lights were also installed at CVHS and UHS. Additionally, the School Board approved a plan to accelerate some of the projects in the levy.

CVSD is moving forward on five of the ten school safety entrances this spring and summer with the remainder completed the following year—five years ahead of schedule. This summer will complete new vestibules for Broadway, Liberty Lake and Progress Elementary Schools; Summit School and Greenacres Middle School in addition to a new roof.

Workers installed cost-efficient stadium lights at CVHS & UHS in the summer of 2024.
