Board Enhances Safety & Security Portion of Bond

Based on feedback received during the engagement phase, the Board of Education has enhanced the safety and security portion of the bond issue. These enhancements will be done at ALL schools.

Safety and security improvements:

• Additional access control throughout school - plus door propping alert system

• Update intercom/paging system throughout school so all staff have access to call a lockdown

• Update front entrance video system

• Integration of all systems

• Expanded chain link fencing around perimeter of elementary playgrounds

• Security film and other bullet resistant features

Bell, Hickory Hill, Patriot, Portal, and Walnut Creek

• Install secure entrance, moving visitors through the office.

• Add finishing kitchen*, allowing for an additional entree and permanent ware.

• Minor interior updates.**

*Bell Elementary already has a finishing kitchen.

**HH is an older school that will require more interior renovation to bring it to today’s standard

Parkview Heights, Tara Heights, and Trumble Park

Major renovations to update these older schools to today’s standards, including: 

• Expand physically smaller classrooms to standard size. 

• Interior and exterior improvements. 

• Playground updates.

New Elementary School 

To educate the growing student population in the western portion of the district. This school would be built for 450-500 students. 

La Vista and Papillion Middle Schools 

• Renovation of science classrooms. 

• Interior and exterior improvements. 

• Addition of counseling center (LVMS). 

• Gym renovation (PMS). 

PLHS and PLSHS 

• Auditorium/theatre renovation. 

• Update baseball and softball complexes. 

• Addition of PE classroom/activity space (PLHS). 

• Addition of flex classroom for health class and academy programs (PLSHS). 

A new facility built on land PLCS currently owns. Currently, the program is leasing space that is too small for the students served. 

Increase performance and reliability of technology in all schools and support new safety and security systems. 

Land potentially for a new elementary school and a new middle school. The land would be purchased now while it is available and can be sold if it is not needed in the future.
