Construction teams are busy at many Royal Oak buildings where we are expanding, upgrading, and improving structures.
There are currently four remaining projects underway this summer that were approved by the voters through a bond in 2017.
Work has started at Northwood Elementary, Royal Oak Middle School, Churchill Community Education Center, and Royal Oak Schools Maintenance and Transportation Center.
On November 7, 2017, voters elected to move forward on a school bond proposal to improve the infrastructure, technology, and learning environment for every school in the district, as well as plans to provide specific improvements to meet unique needs at each school. The total program for the proposal was $59.9 million. These projects will complete the work for the 2017 bond program.
Highlights of the work being done include:
At Northwood:
new flooring in classrooms, the cafeteria, art room, and music room
fresh paint in classrooms
and updating the media center
