2023 Bond Update

The roof project at the high school continues as expected and on time.

Damaged drain rings have been removed and reinforced. The drain bowl was cleaned and abraded down to bare metal. All new coats and sealants were then put in place. By the fall, we’ll have the roofing completed.

Additionally, we just had our ground breaking at the LAC (Laker Athletic Center). School Board members and school administrators scooped the ceremonious first shovel of dirt.

Funds for the projects were generated by a $49.8 million bond, which voters passed in May of 2023. The bond and its associated projects were designed with focuses on student safety and well-being, operational efficiency and infrastructure upgrades, future-ready learning environments, and student arts and athletics facilities.

“While the building is well maintained...there are some things that, over the past 23 years, have outlived their life expectancy,” said Liz Boeve, Director of Operations for SLPS. “It’s time for the high school to receive those updates.” Districtwide, infrastructure updates will occur mainly in the classrooms. However, the roof, bathrooms, auditorium, HVAC, and various lighting projects will be upgraded with the goal of reducing maintenance costs and enhancing efficiency for the district.
