Capital Project
Capital Project
Our school facilities serve as a source of pride as well as a significant investment by our local community. In order to protect our investment and make sure that our students have safe and appropriate learning spaces, our Board of Education spent over a year exploring the possibility of a capital improvement project.
During that time, our Facilities Committee completed a line-by-line review of our required Building Condition Survey (BCS), and in the process, identified the most pressing needs of our District. In addition, our Board of Education committed to saving for capital improvements through Capital Reserve Funds.
At its meeting on March 27, 2017, the Naples Board of Education approved a proposed $7,725,000 Capital Building Project that would have no tax impact or tax increase. On Tuesday, May 16, 2017, community members approved the proposal.
The district is now in the design phase and anticipates, pending state review and approval, starting Phase 1 of the project in spring or summer of 2018. This phase will include a complete redesign of the bus loop and parking area in front of the Elementary as seen in the design drawings below. The district anticipates that Phase II will begin in late summer or early fall of 2018. This phase will include the construction of a new secure main entry at the Elementary School, a new bus garage located behind the Elementary School, and the demolition of the old bus garage that was constructed in 1948. Design drawings for Phase II can be seen below as well.
