BRIARGATE ELEMENTARY REBUILD (Prop A)

Proposition A includes an estimated $47 million to rebuild Briargate Elementary. Regardless of the bond election’s outcome, Briargate will consolidate with Blue Ridge next school year because enrollment at the schools is too low to economically support separate campuses. The consolidation of Briargate Elementary and Blue Ridge Elementary into one new school is part of the district’s long-term goal to reduce operational expenses.

During construction of the new campus, which will take about two years, students and staff will be located at Blue Ridge Elementary.

If the bond does not pass. The consolidated campuses will be located at the Briargate site, possibly until a future bond election passes. 

If the bond is successful, the new school will be built to hold 1,000 students and are planned to contain art rooms, music rooms, gymnasiums, libraries, open-concept interiors with natural light and collaboration areas, new technology and safe, fenced-in play areas. The new campuses will be designed with community input.
