Stanfi eld voters pass school district bond
By JADE MCDOWELL
NEWS EDITOR
Stanfi eld schools are getting an upgrade.
Voters appeared to have approved an $18
million school bond on May 21, with 65%
voting in favor of the bond as of 8 p.m. Pas-
sage of the bond will also secure a $4 million
matching grant from Oregon School Capital
Improvement Fund.
“It’s really exciting,” Stanfi eld School
District Superintendent Beth Burton said. “I
think this will be good for our whole com-
munity, but it will be really good for our
students.”
The bond will pay for a number of proj-
ects, most notably a new middle school wing
to be built on to Stanfi eld Secondary School.
Currently, middle school grades are hosted in
a modular not attached to the main building.
“The new middle school is defi nitely the
focus, and the largest cost, of the bond,”
Burton said.
Having the new middle school wing will
improve safety, she said, as it will force vis-
itors to come past the main offi ce before
accessing classrooms. The bond will also
help pay for other safety upgrades, including
a remodel of the entryway and front offi ce of
both the secondary and elementary schools
to improve safety. External safety cameras
monitoring the parking lot and grounds will
be added, and internal surveillance systems
will be upgraded.
Windows will be added to the secondary
school, which has no natural lighting in its
classrooms. The parking lot for the elemen-
tary school will be reconfi gured, kitchens
will be renovated, asbestos will be removed,
the career and technical education spaces
will be expanded, and the school district
plans to purchase the land the elementary
school is built on, which it is currently leas-
ing from Union Pacifi c.
