Questions & Answers:
Bond 2020 Renovations at Rhodes MS
What is the status of renovations at Rhodes Middle School?
Rhodes Middle School renovations are currently in design. To help address industry pressures during the pandemic, the bond projects were placed in phases to stagger construction. The Rhodes renovation project, which was placed in Phase 3, came in over budget, based on initial designs. The district is working with the architect to bring the project within budget.
What is included in the renovation?
The planned renovation includes a new academic building; a new primary gym and renovation of existing gym and locker rooms; new fine arts building; athletic field improvements.
When will construction begin on our school?
The district must first complete the design phase, which is expected to last through spring 2026, with construction beginning summer 2026.
Will students need to be relocated to another campus during construction?
Decisions about project phasing and accommodations will be made when the project enters the construction phase. The district will communicate logistics with campus leadership to share with families.
When will we be able to use the newly renovated spaces?
Once the project is completed, a move-in date that coincides with a school break would need to be selected for move-in to the new spaces.
How will parents and students have a voice in the process?
Your principal will be forming a Project Advisory Team that includes parents, students, teachers, and community members to represent the larger Rhodes Middle School community. The group will provide input on the project during the design phase.
