$7,900,000 Bond Issue - No Increase in Bond Payments

This website is intended to provide all patrons of the Centennial Public School District information on the 2025 bond issue the Board of Education developed, with community input, to accommodate current and future enrollment. District patrons will vote on the $7,900,000 million bond issue in a special mail-in election on June 10, 2025.

Investing in Our Students: Why This Bond Project is Essential

Our school is committed to providing the best possible learning environment for our students. To meet the evolving needs of our students and communities, we are proposing a bond issue that will fund several critical improvements to our school facilities. These enhancements will not only modernize our campus but also create safer, more efficient, and more effective spaces for learning and activities.

Key Benefits of the Bond Project

1. Modernized Kitchen & Cafeteria

• The multi-purpose small gym will be renovated into a new, fully functional kitchen and cafeteria, improving meal service efficiency and creating a comfortable dining space for students.

• A larger, updated cafeteria will reduce overcrowding, allowing students to eat in a timely manner and enjoy a better overall experience.

• A modern kitchen will allow for improved meal preparation, ensuring students receive nutritious meals efficiently.

2. New Multi-Use Gymnasium

• The construction of a new gym will provide a versatile space for physical education classes, school activities, athletic practices, and youth activity usage.

• Increased gym availability will allow for better scheduling of practices and events, giving all students access to quality practice times.

• The new facility will be designed to accommodate multiple sports and activities, creating a space that benefits all students.

3. Additional Classrooms to Support Growth & New Programs

• New classrooms will help improve the learning environment, ensuring each student has access to the resources they need.

• Updated classrooms will be designed to meet modern educational standards, incorporating technology and flexible learning spaces.

4. On-Site Bus Barn for Safer & More Efficient Transportation

5. Safer & More Functional Facilities

• Safety improvements, including updated infrastructure, improved traffic flow, and secure entrances, will enhance the overall security of our school.

• New, energy-efficient facilities will reduce long-term maintenance costs, ensuring financial sustainability for the district.

6. Expanded Extracurricular & Athletic Opportunities

• The additional gym space will allow for increased participation in extracurricular activities, ensuring that students in all sports and programs have access to adequate facilities.

• More practice and event space will eliminate scheduling conflicts and ensure student-athletes have the necessary time to develop their skills.

• The gym will be a multi-use facility, allowing not just sports teams but also clubs, performances, and events to take place in the new area.

7. Preparing for the Future & Strengthening Our Communities

• These updates will allow us to accommodate future student enrollment growth, ensuring that our school remains a top educational institution for years to come.

• The new facilities will serve as a hub for the communities, providing space for local events, meetings, and recreational activities.

• A well-maintained, modern school enhances property values and school pride, making our district a desirable place to live and learn.
