The complete rebuild of Raleigh Hills will cost about $67 million — $12 million will be rolling over from the 2014 Bond Program and $55 million will be from the 2022 Bond. The new building will address ongoing issues, such as steam pipes failing and the roof being in poor condition. It'll also include improved traffic flow, better accessibility for students and staff with disabilities and add improved staff observation of the playground.
Rebuilding Raleigh Hills will eliminate about $12 million of deferred maintenance that's currently needed in the school, all while maintaining the community-centered rich history of the school.
Raleigh Hills Elementary School was evaluated to be the elementary school in the worst condition according to the District's Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA). The school dates back to 1927, making it the second oldest school in the district.
