Battle Ground Public Schools

4 | BATTLE GROUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS STAYING THE COURSE FIT used district data and community feedback through Thoughtexchange surveys to identify more than 25 specific projects in six categories: Replacement & Renovation, New Facilities, Capital Renewal Projects, Safety and Technology, Educational Enhancements, and Athletic Upgrades. The team then prioritized the projects into three phases over the next 18 years. Each phase maximizes state assistance, creates a stable tax structure, and meets the identified needs of the district: facility condition, overcrowding, addressing enrollment growth, and school safety.
