SPCS Snapshots

1. STRATEGIC PLANNING

Springfield Platteview Community Schools started official strategic planning in March 2023 with an outstanding group of teachers, directors, parents, administrators, and board members discussing strengths, opportunities, and threats for the next 3 to 5 years (and beyond). At the end of the two sessions, the group came up with goals for the future of our district. These goals were presented and approved by the board of education on April 10, 2023. The focus is on academics, growth, mental health, and safety. Teams were then assigned to work specifically on the action steps to accomplish our goals. Over the summer and into the fall, groups are working to refine the specifics for each goal. The groups will be ready to share the progress of plans with the Board of Education and the community in the coming months.  

2. BUZA DOME

The old Buza Dome (old gym south of the building) at Platteview High School recently opened up as the new Strength Training and Conditioning classroom. The classroom will see over 300 students on any given day! The space will soon feature AV and other technology to help enhance the classroom experience. A $50,000 grant was awarded from Google to help with the technology additions to the space. Come and check it out!   

3. PREVIOUS CENTRAL OFFICE LOCATION & NEW ATHLETIC AND WRESTLING BUILDING 

The old Admin building, located in the parking lot just north of Platteview High School, is currently under construction. The building is being remodeled into a flexible space for extracurricular activities including wrestling, baseball, and golf. The space will also serve other activities as needed such as football, dance, cheer, soccer, or any activity needing a large indoor space. This project is projected to be done by the beginning of wrestling season, early November 2023.  

4. & 5. SPCS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING (A.K.A. CENTRAL OFFICE)

The new District Administration Building is now located at 765 Main Street in the old Springfield Elementary building. Central Office staff moved into the west side of the building at the beginning of August. The east side of the building is still under construction and is anticipated to be done this November. The east side of the Administration Building will have a large community space, a board room, a small fitness area, conference rooms, two more offices, and a commons area. We will keep you posted as to when the projects are finalized and furnished.  

The concrete for the parking lot facing the main street was poured last week. Boyd Jones is working daily on the changes to the east side of the building. It is anticipated that staff will be able to move into the east side by the end of this year. Not everything will be furnished in the community or gym space at this time, but we will communicate with the community as soon as the project is complete. 

6. OAK LEAF

The Oak Leaf property is land near 72nd and Capehart Road in Papillion. This development is within the Springfield Platteview Community School district and we look forward to welcoming new families in that community to our district.  Phase 1 consists of approximately 450 lots, with a total of almost 700 lots when the subdivision is complete.  In preparation for the growth, the School Board has already secured approximately 14 acres of land in that subdivision for the future home of a third SPCS Elementary School.
