Hilliard City Council Approves School Bond Projects for New Buildings
The Hilliard City Council has approved two key resolutions that will allow Hilliard City Schools to begin projects funded by the $142 million bond issue passed by voters last year.
At the council’s August 25 meeting, members voted 5-0 to grant conditional land use approvals for two major initiatives: a new building for Beacon Elementary School and an expansion of the preschool at Norwich Elementary School.
According to Jackie Yeoman, the city’s deputy planning director, the current Beacon Elementary building will remain in use until the new facility is complete, ensuring no disruption to students. The bond package also includes the construction of three new elementary schools of identical size across the district.
Beacon Elementary is the first to begin construction because the district can build the new school while students continue learning in the existing building.
As enrollment continues to grow, district officials noted that redistricting may be necessary in the near future to balance student populations across Hilliard City Schools.
