The District previously presented architectural concepts for the reconstruction of the VIP Village Preschool facility to the Board. The current facilities are approximately 26 years old, are a burden for maintenance, have reached their industry specified life-span, and need replacement.

The District plans to start the construction at VIP Village during the summer of 2019.  Staff previously conducted a Request for Qualifications/Proposal for architectural services, which resulted in the identification of White + Westberg, Inc.  The next step is the adoption of Resolution 18-012 (Exhibit) to call for an election and submit to the electors the question of whether General Obligation bonds shall be issued and sold in the maximum principal amount of $18 million for the purposes described in the ballot measure.

Maintaining school facilities at various sites helps to enhance the environment for student achievement.

There are no financial implications related to this item.

It is respectfully requested that the Superintendent recommend adoption of Resolution 18-012 ordering an election to authorize the issuance of school bonds, establishing specifications of the election order, and requesting consolidation with other elections occurring on November 6, 2018.
