All modernization/replacement projects are developed using the division’s Comprehensive Long-Range Facility Master Plan, last updated in 2017. In 2009 the School Division finalized work on High School Educational Specifications*. All projects are designed/constructed to achieve the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Silver Certification (at a minimum).
