School Projects - $51,916,000
- New Elementary
School
- An elementary school to be built on Lee-Davis Road will help
relieve overcrowding in the eastern part of Hanover County. The
school will help the County meet its long-term goal of maintaining
low student-to-teacher ratios while reducing the immediate reliance
upon modular classrooms. It is planned to open in September 2008.
- Facilities Improvement
- To ensure a safe and comfortable learning environment, a plan
is in place to accomplish anticipated maintenance projects for
older school facilities. Each of the 18 schools built prior to
2000 will receive needed improvements which could include heating
and air conditioning systems, roofs and parking lot improvements.
- Trades-Based Center
- A 38,600 square foot Trades-Based Center, proposed to be constructed
adjacent to Hanover High School, will provide courses and programs
including building trades (such as carpentry, electricity and
plumbing), facilities management, cosmetology, small engines and
automotive servicing. The Center, which is planned to open in
2008, will allow the school district to provide these services
within our County, to prepare more students for the workforce
which awaits them.
- Technology Infrastructure
- Network upgrades will provide greater speed, capacity and flexibility
for the school district’s operating systems which are used
daily by more than 40,000 students, parents, employees and community
members.
