Project Update - March 2023

The 2022 Bond included funding for classroom additions at Southwest Elementary, reducing the district’s dependence on long-term portable buildings to accommodate new students.

Following passage of the 2022 Bond, the district collaborated with stakeholders to identify program requirements, and the project is currently in the final stages of the design process.

This elementary addition was designed in accordance with Belton ISD’s 2022 Educational Specifications, and designs include 10 classrooms, art and music rooms, and a new gymnasium. Plans also include collaborative spaces for Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and teacher planning.

Design team work is progressing quickly.  The project is being fast-tracked in order to allow the construction manager to begin ordering materials with long-lead times in the Spring of 2023 while final construction documents are scheduled to be complete by May 2023.  Initial construction activity at the school is currently scheduled to start at the end of May 2023, immediately following the end of the current school year.  The initial focus will be on demolition activities, utility relocations, and general site clearing in preparation for the building foundations.
