2020 Levy Construction Projects

In February 2020, district voters approved a $23.7 million dollar capital levy to support building and facility improvements across the district. The levy improvements are intended to meet one or more of the following goals:

• Provide adequate classroom space for instructional programs.
• Improve the efficiency of building support systems like Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning and electrical services.
• Increase the useful lifespan of existing school buildings or facilities.
• Improve safety and security at instructional sites.

Scheduled 2023 summer projects:
• The Kent Prairie Traffic Safety project will provide a waiting area for families picking up their students after school. It will provide a safe place off 204th Street and away from the school buildings for families to wait.

• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning improvements across the district

2022-23 Construction Update
Over the 2022-23 school year, we completed nine projects that help meet the safety needs of our students and provide them with the space they need to learn. Here are three highlights:

- Added classrooms at Arlington High School. Additions include new classrooms, a manufacturing technology lab, and an expanded special education life skills suite.

- Secure entryways allow staff to vet and register visitors before they enter instructional spaces. The 2020 capital levy provided for the installation of secure entry ways across the district.

- Kent Prairie Elementary Safety Project: The project will address road congestion at the school, and promotes safety for pedestrians and drivers during dismissal.
