Valley View Early Learning

Valley View Maintenance + Initial Architectural Design: $3.3M 

This page provides information about a project recommended by CFAC to include funding for Valley View Early Learning Center design and maintenance. The school board will ultimately decide whether to include it in a future bond measure.

Design Funding 

Initial architectural design services = $1.4 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

If the board decides 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.
