Background: To help alleviate overcrowding and address the needs of the school district’s growing community, a total of nine new schools and a district-wide performing arts center were included in the 2004 and 2008 bond programs.

The new elementary school will be located in north central ÁùºÏ±¦µä. Due to limited available land in the area, the Board of Trustees approved the purchase of a site with an existing building, which the school district will adapt and repurpose for use as a school facility.

This year, North Central Elementary School No. 1 opened as the Janis Guerrero-Thompson Elementary School.
