Capital Projects

Ridge View Elementary will be replaced (new-in-lieu) on the same site and expanded to 30 classrooms. Construction will be completed on December 2023 and open on January 3, 2024 to students.

The timeframe and location for Elementary School 18 is dependent on enrollment growth. Current enrollment and projected enrollment growth does not support the need for an additional elementary school. The future location of a new elementary school will be determined by future development and will likely be built on a site the district already owns.

The project will add two classrooms with adjoining lab space and support space, totaling about 9,500 square feet.
