2022 Bond Project Timeline

The $97 million bond will fund new and enhanced learning environments, districtwide building and site improvements and safety upgrades to help prepare all Bronchos for careers and success.

The 2022 Bond will include:

• A new middle school with increased classroom space, career lab, and enhanced fine arts and athletic facilities,
   
• Enhanced learning environments districtwide, including fine arts, athletics, instructional technology, and a new construction trades center, and
   
• Replacement of worn playground structures and septic systems, new fire protection upgrades and more safety improvements.

Currently, the district is completing projects from the 2018 Bond, including the East Student Parking Lot at Holly High School (scheduled for completion by Fall 2022).

The 2022 Bond Projects will go through several phases including design, state approval, bidding and construction. Preparations are underway for each of the projects, including meetings with architects, engineers, construction managers and facility consultants. Working with these experienced experts, we’ve created a bond project timeline to best serve the needs of our district. 

The project team reviewed several factors in developing the project schedule, including: 

• Status of remaining/past-useful-life equipment, systems and materials
• Identifying buildings with largest-scale projects
• Maximizing on-site time of contractors
• Awareness of districtwide equity issues
• Available bond funds in each series

Planning for each of the large bond projects will begin approximately one year before construction, including programming, schematic design, design development, final construction documents and state review. During the design phase of select projects, building principals/directors will seek input from students, staff and parents.

I am very excited to see our bond projects take shape, which will help us continue providing all students with new and diverse learning opportunities that prepare them for the competitive modern workforce. We will periodically provide updates on the status of our bond projects throughout the construction schedule. 

Again, thank you for helping us continue to make Holly Area Schools a great place for students to learn, grow and thrive. Your continued investment in our district helps ensure a safe, nurturing learning environment that helps all Bronchos achieve and succeed.
