Lincoln Phase 1 Construction
The School Board voted, at the January 25th meeting, to sell $10 million worth of bonds to pay for construction at Lincoln Middle School.
The core of the first phase includes renovating spaces that would house the SLC program and a new program for students who require emotional support. In both cases, these students are currently placed out of the district at the middle school age at a significant cost to taxpayers. Bringing these programs back into the district better serves these students, provides a more inclusive learning environment, and ultimately costs less. “Inside this special education area, it still includes the specialized space…like bathrooms that are directly related to the classrooms, a life skills area that could include things like laundry, kitchen, and other aspects of the SLC program,” said Superintendent Dr. Ben Collins.
Phase 1 at Lincoln is a different project than the $89.1 million bond referendum that is on the November 5th, 2024 ballot. Phase 1A started at Lincoln during the 2024 summer. You can read more about what Phase 1 entails in this Board recap.
