Bond Projects

In PVSchools, resources are acquired and prioritized to equitably advance the vision, mission, values, and strategic goals. Some of these projects are only possible with the support of voters through bonds and overrides.

Advancing on the strategic goals through optimizing resources is done by developing transparent and fiscally responsible district and site budgets that help provide safe learning environments, close learning gaps, and accelerate academic achievement for every student.

Flooring upgrades included polished concrete, carpet, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and epoxy. There are distinct advantages to these bond projects:

Epoxy is a waterproof, easy to clean surface for restrooms, kitchens, and other wet applications.
Polished concrete requires significantly less maintenance than older vinyl tile flooring.
Carpet squares and LVT enable replacement of stained or damaged areas without replacing an entire room.

HVAC Upgrades

$14,307,613 Bond $100,935 Admin Bond

As a majority of our schools have entered their third decade of life, original build HVAC systems have surpassed life expectancy in the desert climate and harsh water conditions. Problematic and aging HVAC units impact safety, comfort, and the learning environment and are more costly to use, maintain, and repair. This year, we replaced 180 failing classroom units and upgraded 16 HVAC Plants.
