OFCC Segment 2

The voters of the South-Western City School District community overwhelmingly supported its children and schools through the passage of a bond issue for Segment 2 of the overall Ohio Facilities Construction Commission Building Project, which passed on November 6, 2018.

In partnership with the OFCC, Segment 2 focuses on rebuilding the four oldest middle schools (Brookpark, Finland, Norton, and Pleasant View), renovating and building an addition onto Jackson Middle School, renovating East Franklin Elementary School, and completing some much-needed roofing and asphalt projects across the district.

Times have changed since the original middle schools were built. New school safety procedures require additional passive and active security systems to help keep our students safe. Additional educational technology and the resources required for students to be successful in today’s online and virtual worlds require updated electrical systems to fully support them. Instructional spaces need to be flexible and aligned to current programs. In addition, these new and renovated buildings will help our schools and community continue to grow and attract families and businesses that value education.
