Eudora Schools Bond Update
A
fter the Bond passage on May 16th, the Eudora Schools has been busy preparing and marketing the Bonds our community successfully approved this spring. The bond election was a testament to the power of collaboration and teamwork, and Eudora Schools are honored to have been a part of such an incredible effort. The Bonds were successfully sold on July 11th for a lower interest rate than initially planned. Due to this lower interest rate, the total debt service should decrease by approximately 9 Million Dollars! Eudora Schools has held focus groups with staff stakeholders including teachers, administrators, coaches, and paras, who meet with the architecture team. During these meetings with HTK Architects, all groups were given the opportunity to provide input and ideas for the preliminary designs of each project. The architects will continue to refine the designs alongside the Eudora Schools team and aim to finalize the drawings by winter break.
In January, Construction Management partner, Newkirk-Novak will solicit competitive bids for a majority of the projects. Some of the construction is anticipated to begin in February, with most of the projects starting in May. Many projects and improvements will need to occur throughout the summer when students and staff are not in the building, such as the Eudora Elementary School playground and Eudora Middle School secure entrance. Although walls and construction work aren’t visible yet, rest assured Eudora Schools is busy planning and preparing for the projects to take off soon. “We want to continue to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who supported this initiative. Thank you to our passionate volunteers, dedicated staff members, and every community member who has had an amazing impact on the process so far. Moving forward, we are confident that we will continue to work together to create an even stronger school district for our students, families, and community.” says Superintendent of Schools Stu Mockel.
