• Future Ready

     

  • At Gates Chili, we believe that investing in our facilities is an investment in our students’ future. Our schools are a source of pride, and we are committed to being future ready by ensuring that they remain safe and efficient environments for all students, staff and visitors. 

    To meet this commitment, our administration and Board of Education have collaborated with members of our school community, architects and our construction management team to plan a project that focuses on preserving our resources and addressing critical infrastructure needs in order to maintain our schools. This proposed capital project prioritizes necessary repairs and improvements to keep our facilities in optimal condition for years to come.

    Unlike previous projects that have been focused primarily on new construction, this project is dedicated to the essential work of maintaining our schools and addressing the aging infrastructure across our buildings. After extensive research and planning, the proposed scope of work includes:

    • 44% dedicated to repairing failing infrastructure, such as roofing, plumbing and electrical systems 
    • 35% allocated to renovations that enhance building safety, accessibility and usability
    • 13% focused on replacing critical components nearing the end of their lifespan
    • 8% reserved for new enhancements aimed at improving overall building functionality

  • Frequently asked questions
  • Funding the project
  • Presentations and publications
  • Proposed scope
  • Proposed project schedule
  • Voter information
  • What's on the ballot?
  • We are pleased to share that this project will be funded with no additional tax impact on our community.

    We invite eligible community members to take part in the vote to make our facilities future ready on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2025. Voting will take place from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Spartan Field House at Gates Chili High School. Additionally, we encourage you to attend our public hearing, which will be held during our regularly scheduled Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 6:30 p.m., where we will provide a detailed overview and answer any questions.

    Your continued support has been key to our district’s progress. Together, we can be future ready by preserving our resources and maintaining our schools for the benefit of our students and community. We look forward to your participation on Feb. 5.
