The funding provided by voter-approved bonds is expected to fund projects identified in the FY 2026-30 Capital Improvement Program, which was approved by the School Board in February.

The renovations underway at our school were funded by previous bond referendums. Visit our school’s project page for the latest information about our renovation. Learn more about the bond referendum at fcps.edu/Bond2025.
