The front entrance at Clear Creek Elementary needs to be upgraded for safety and security. Updated learning environments will better fit 21st Century Learning and flexible learning spaces provide for collaborative learning to better meet student needs. The new Wellness Center will meet the increased number of students in activities with a walking/running track, added court space, turf space, locker rooms and multipurpose space and enhance community amenities with a place to walk/run, exercise, play different activities, along with increasing the number of recreation activities the city can offer to community members. The football bleachers, press box, track, and field at the Lions Field Complex need replaced and doing so will reduce maintenance costs . We also need updated restroom/concession stand along with press box and bleachers at our softball area. The greenhouse will benefit the new AG/FFA program along with the 7-12 science classes for a more real life experience.
