Future-Proofing USD 294 Facilities

PLANNING FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS

Our community’s ability to thrive in the future depends on the quality of our schools, and facilities play a major role.

We’re at a crossroads. Many buildings—including the HVAC, electrical, and other systems within them—have exceeded their life expectancy. Now is the time to look at plans that will allow us to continue to serve the community and our children for the next fifty years.

The Planning Process

The USD 294 Board of Education is currently evaluating our current buildings and looking at how facilities can help fuel student and community success for the next 50 years.
