Hillcrest Elementary Bond Projects
Hillcrest Elementary is set to receive a wide range of enhancements funded by the 2024 bond, totaling between $3.3 million and $4 million.
Over the next several years, students and staff will benefit from upgrades throughout the campus. Classroom and cafeteria spaces will be refreshed with improved air conditioning, modern lighting and new furnishings — creating more flexible, comfortable and functional learning environments.
Bond-funded safety measures include upgraded fire alarms, classroom door locks and exterior door sensors. Technology improvements are also planned, including faster Wi-Fi and new network cabling to strengthen IT infrastructure.
Outside, Hillcrest will see major campus updates with a new playground scheduled for summer 2026 and a comprehensive resurfacing project. Together, these investments will help foster a more welcoming, connected and secure school community.
Projected construction budget:
$3.3 million to $4 million
Bond Investment Areas at Hillcrest Elementary
The 2024 bond is focused on improving and updating facilities across the district. All bond projects will benefit students, staff and the community by investing in our buildings and – by extension – investing in our community. These investments vary from paving and resurfacing projects to major interior and exterior overhauls to update school furnishings and finishes.
All schools are also receiving comprehensive IT upgrades through the 2024 bond. These upgrades will support faster network connections and support advanced classroom tools. IT projects will also boost school safety and security, with improved security cameras, exterior door sensors and updated safety systems.
