The construction projects were approved as part of a $183 million bond vote last year.
"It’s been a long time coming, we’ve been on an extraordinary journey. Our voters got together a little more than a year ago to pass a historic bond," said Edwards.
"When this school opens in August 2023, it seems like a long time, but it’s not going to be that long, it will open with between 750 and 800 Pre K through 5th grade students. That’s the need for this area," said Board President Billy Moore."If we go to Red Rock where we would be assigned that’s about 12 to 14 miles. We go to Cedar Creek, it's about 12 to 14. And this will be like less than 5. It’s a big difference," said David Green.
The money from the bond issue will not only build the two schools, the district also has other projects to address the growth that’s taking place. "We have been growing at a tremendous rate, so this is a fantastic opportunity for us to catch up with that growth and get some brand-new schools for our students," said Edwards.
