The School Board has placed a bond issue on the April 4, 2023 election ballot. The selection of three directors to the school board will also be on the upcoming ballot.
Passage of this school bond issue would allow the district to begin phase 6 of construction and renovation to Grain Valley High School's long range masterplan. The $32 million school bond issue on the April 4th ballot would provide funds for the site development, construction, equipping, and furnishing of a new High School gymnasium/fieldhouse. The district has other maintenance and upkeep needs that will be addressed with the passage of this bond issue. These projects are likely to include: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; replace roofing; upgrade athletic facilities; and address other repairs and improvements to existing facilities of the District.
If this bond issue is approved, the adjusted debt service levy of the School District is estimated to remain unchanged at $1.7000 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation of real and personal property.
Phase 6 of the GVHS Masterplan will be located on the southwest corner of the existing building. This fieldhouse and student activities addition will include a new fieldhouse gymnasium that seats 2,000, renovation to the existing smaller gymnasium which will become the auxiliary gym, renovations to PE and varsity locker rooms, a new weight room, new student and activity entrance with student attendance office, and renovations to the existing commons/lunchroom. Demolition to the existing weight room, rooms previously used for band and choir, and the northwest corner of the existing gymnasium will make room for the new fieldhouse gymnasium and a wider Eagle Way student and activities entrance.
