2023 Bond - Union Public Schools

This project is part of the $152 million bond that was approved by the voters and passed. As of March 8, 2023, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. One of the signature projects in the bond is to "significantly reconfigure" its 6th and 7th grade building to ease students' transition from elementary school to middle school. The full list of inclusions on the bond include: (provided by Union Public Schools) Interior/Exterior Renovations: An estimated $46 million of the bond will go toward building interior and exterior renovations to include HVAC, roof replacements, safety and security upgrades, utility systems, paving, playgrounds, flooring, painting, windows, doors, millwork, lighting, furniture, fixtures, and equipment at sites throughout the district. Safety & Security: Extensive changes are planned throughout the district, including: The deployment of additional security cameras, door prompt sensors and other enhancements. At Jarman Elementary, the entrance and front office will be renovated to upgrade security. A new gym at the 6th /7th Grade Center will be a hardened facility to withstand tornado-strength winds and will also serve as the new home of Union's spirit and winter guard programs. Air quality in buildings will be heightened considerably through roof and HVAC changes; and playground and sidewalk updates will improve child safety; and A fire-retardant curtain will be installed at the High School studio theater in the event of a fire. Technology, textbooks, digital curriculum, and instructional resources will represent a $31 million investment. Union will continue to fund "1-to-1" (one computer device for every student), as it proved especially critical during the pandemic; the district will enter phase 2 of the program, replacing older laptops. This category includes the purchase of laptops, iPads, software, licenses, copiers and assorted hardware, as well as textbooks and instructional resources. In addition, each Union site and department would also receive an allocation, some of which may fall in this category. Athletics & Fine Arts Facility Upgrades: Student participation in extracurricular activities continues to skyrocket, which bolsters Union's graduation rate. Projects will include: Renovation of the Performing Arts Center's aging "back of house" (dressing room areas) and orchestra pit, new orchestra shell and the installation of new intelligent light system. Uniforms, equipment, technology and musical instruments for Athletics and Fine Arts. UMAC improvements to include a higher-resolution video/score board, sound system, sport lighting and exterior renovations. New gym and practice facility at the Union 6th/7th Grade Center. Resurfacing of tennis courts and turf replacement at the soccer practice and regular fields at the 8th Grade Center, the indoor baseball/softball practice facility and at the High School track; and Pool upgrade at the Sixth/Seventh Grade Center.
