Valley View Early Learning
Valley View Maintenance + Initial Architectural Design: $3.3M
Location: 17622 46th Avenue South
This page provides information about a project recommended by CFAC and included in the school construction bond approved by the School Board for the fall 2026 ballot to include funding for Valley View Early Learning Center design and maintenance. Voters will make the final decision.
Design Funding
Initial architectural design services = $1.2 million
- Design funding supports initial planning and early design work for future school projects.
- This can include selecting architects, developing early concepts and involving the school community in planning and design.
- Starting the design means approved projects would not have to begin from scratch.
- Design funding helps prepare projects to move forward more quickly in a future bond.
Timeline
With the board's decision to place the Valley View initial design project on the November 2026 ballot, here is a summary of the timeline:
- Spring 2032: Initial design process begins. Design-only projects typically start later in the bond cycle so plans will reflect current costs, permitting requirements and project needs.
- Future Bond: Detailed design work and construction documents would come later if a future bond was approved.
Maintenance Funding
Critical maintenance = $2.1 million
- Critical maintenance funding would address the most pressing building system needs at this school while long-term plans are developed.
- The amount reflects the maintenance and upgrades needed over the next eight years to preserve the school facility and keep major systems working.
- Building upgrades reduce the risk of outages, water damage or other failures that can disrupt learning or impact safety.
- Funding to replace or upgrade building systems extends the life of school facilities.
