This plan includes necessary new construction, renovations, and upgrades. The project must include all educational, activity, and operational components needed for a one site middle school and high school building. Several months of public feedback and work with the board has been done to try and get the project down to the minimum amount needed without excluding needed facility components to last for decades.

The two-story middle school addition came about through the community meetings, surveys, and staff input. One of the things that the board heard loud and clear was that our community really likes the fact that the middle school students are not only separated from other grades in their current building, but that the 5th and 6th grade have their own classroom area separate from the 7th and 8th grade classroom area. A two-story solution allows for each age group to continue having their own classroom areas. The 5th and 6th floor and the 7th and 8th floor would each have their own restrooms, locker areas, classrooms, and commons. This will allow the culture that our community appreciates to continue in a new building. It is a school-within-a-school concept. Not having to do as much dirt work to the west for a one-story addition would save enough money that it would pay for the stairs and elevator that would be required in a two-story addition.

Fillmore Central High School band members, Aaden, Amity, Olivia, and Ashtin with clinician Dr. Louis Eckhardt at the Superior Honor Band today in Superior.
It is anticipated that there will be operational efficiencies realized if the middle school and high school are all under one roof. A reduction in operational costs could include: utilities, facility maintenance, transportation, eliminating duplicate services, and staff reduction through attrition. A feasibility study completed in 2021 and other projections indicate a conservative operational savings of $650,000 per year once the project is complete. This could result in a 5 cent reduction in the General Fund tax asking each year. This could also result in lowering the Special Building Fund levy.
