Local Schools' Summer Improvements
Press Release from Reynolds School District (Read full press release)
September 6, 2017
Most students in Reynolds School District are returning on Wednesday to campuses that are newly improved since school ended last year. District Superintendent, Linda Florence, expressed that she was “so pleased to welcome students across the District back to safer and more secure schools thanks to funding from the bond measure.”
School improvements include:
- Ten schools have new, more secure entryways, exterior locking doors, and cameras. Two other schools received similar security improvements over the summer of 2016.
- Students at Fairview, Troutdale, Wilkes and RHS return to big changes, as new elementary schools are under construction and major renovations continue at the high school.
- In addition to the bond-funded improvements, many schools received improvements such as seismic upgrades, new kitchen coolers, driveway and playground upgrades, paid for by annual District funding.
Your Money Being Used Effectively
“When the community passed the bond measure, they entrusted the District with making our schools safer and more secure,” says William Ohle, Chairman of the Citizens Oversight Committee, “The District has achieved this task on time and within budget, and shown great care throughout in using taxpayer money effectively.” The Citizen Oversight Committee was formed to ensure accountability during implementation of the bond measure.
