* New schools and student-centered spaces were prioritized ahead of District Facility Renovations.

With unprecedented inflation costs in 2022 and 2023, not all District Facility Renovations were able to be complete with 2021 bond funds. These District Facility Renovations are now included in the proposed 2023 bond.
