Bond Projects LogoThe foundation is being laid for school improvement projects that will be funded by bond funds approved by voters in the 2008 election.

The Cherry Creek School District Facilities team is selecting architects to renovate schools; the Fiscal Services office is determining the most appropriate time to sell the bonds; and principals of schools undergoing renovations are planning to work with their school communities to prepare for upcoming improvements to their schools, inside and out.

In November 2008, voters approved ballot issue 3A which provides funds to:

  • Renovate 14 elementary, two middle and two high schools that were built between 1958 and 1982
  • Upgrade safety and environmental systems, including fire protection, wiring, heat and air conditioning, and plumbing, at 50 schools and other facilities
  • Improve technology throughout the district
  • Construct three elementary schools in the south and east sections of the district
  • Build a new Math, Science and Technology Center between Prairie Middle School and Overland High School to serve 6th through 12th graders
