It's a very busy summer at OPS with a number of projects taking place at our buildings. We're excited to continue to improve our facilities and your child's educational experience!

This summer will be an extremely busy one in our district, as the construction projects from the May 2020 Bond will conclude and most buildings will see upgrades. These improvements will complete the $22.9 million dollar bond which allowed for most planned projects to be completed. However, due to significant cost increases related to the pandemic, we were unfortunately not able to repurpose the Washington Street Pool Facility into a multipurpose space. We will be looking to address this project, as well as future growth projects for the districts in the next school year as the district is currently conducting facilities, programs, enrollment and traffic assessments. Further information on these assessments will be shared next fall. 

Here are the projects that will be completed this summer and during the Fall of 2024:

  • Roof Replacement

  • Cafeteria A/C

  • Gym A/C 

  • Kitchen A/C
