ResourcesAPS Announces 2008 Bond Schedule
Print This Story
APS has completed a preliminary construction schedule for the bond program approved by Aurora voters in November. The $215 million bond construction program provides approximately $201 million for building improvements and nearly $14 million for technology. Construction will be completed over a five-year period, beginning in 2009 and ending in 2013.
Due to annual borrowing limits on bond funds and workload considerations, APS will fund about $45 million in construction per year for the first four years, and $20 million for the final year.
The construction of a new high school and P-8 school at 6th Avenue Parkway and Harvest Road will be a priority during the first 2-1/2 years of the bond program. Construction of the new P-8 school will begin in spring 2009, and work will start on the new high school during the summer. The P-8 school will open in fall 2010. The high school is scheduled to open in fall 2011.
Other projects scheduled to begin in spring 2009 include:
- Rangeview High School– new kitchen and building renewal
- Wheeling Elementary School– gymnasium addition and building renewal
- Laredo Elementary– gymnasium addition and building renewal
- Gateway High School– roof repairs
