Total: $94,200,000

Why is this needed? 

The Dickinson ISD Facility Task Force considered different scenarios, and the option the group believes will work best for future growth and allow the district to develop a plan to implement full-day pre-kindergarten is to build a third junior high school and realign the grade configurations at the elementary, middle school and junior high levels. If the bond is approved, the district will realign the grade levels when the new junior high opens to have grades Pre-K to grade 3 in elementary school, grades 4-5 in middle school and grades 6-8 in junior high.

The additions and renovations at the Transportation Center, Technology Center, and Agriculture Center are related to student enrollment growth. The cinder running track at McAdams Junior High would be replaced with asphalt similar to the track at Kranz Junior High. The parking lot at Hughes Road Elementary has major subsidence and drainage issues. Parking lot flooding is a major concern at this campus.

Security improvements are recommended for all campus vestibules.   Front entrances would be renovated so that visitors do not directly enter the school’s front office.  Instead, they would check-in with a receptionist at a secure transaction window before entering the main school building.  In addition, ballistic window film would be added to all front entrance areas.   Lobit Education Village and Kranz Junior High have large classroom windows on all interior walls.  Safety upgrades at these campuses would provide manual operated opaque window shades for all interior classroom windows.
