School Building Improvement 
Bond Program

Since 2012, PPS has completed over 1100 health, safety and modernization projects that have improved every school in the district. This work on our aging school buildings has improved water quality, and provided security upgrades, new roofs, asbestos and radon remediation, lead paint stabilization, new fire alarms and sprinklers, more accessibility and seismic retrofits.

Nine schools: Benson, Franklin, Grant, McDaniel, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kellogg MS, Faubion PK-8 and the new Multiple Pathways to Graduation program building have been modernized or rebuilt. Work is underway on three more modernized schools: Jefferson, Cleveland and Ida B. Wells.

Excavation work begins on Jefferson athletic fields

Dirt is moving on Jefferson’s south athletic fields! Since the Jefferson Groundbreaking Ceremony in May, our construction team has been hard at work preparing the site for construction. Crews are out now using excavators to level the soil and remove obstructions on the athletic fields. This work will create a flat area on which the foundations and drainage infrastructure for the fields can be constructed.
