Capital Project 2024
On December 7, 2021, LCSD voters authorized a tax-neutral capital improvement bond to support the 2024 Capital Project. This district-wide, long-term facilities plan has been designed to enhance safety and security, upgrade teaching and learning spaces, and improve infrastructure at all LCSD schools. Construction of the capital project will be completed in multiple phases over the course of multiple years.
On February 15, 2022, LCSD voters approved the Capital Project Resolution to develop the Saunders' Sports Complex at LCSD. Mr. Saunders committed $1 million to support the project and limit the tax impact.

Revised Staging Area:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the contractor staging area originally planned for the space along Bulldog Boulevard has been relocated to the softball field parking lot at the end of Branch Street and a portion of the Southeast corner of the High School parking lot. The softball parking lot at the end of Branch Street will be shared with the construction staging and the school athletic teams for the duration of the capital project. Additional parking for the softball field and pickleball court remains available around the Connell Building on Spring St. and School Street and at the Elementary School.
Middle/High School Auditorium Entrance:
This entrance near the auditorium will be closed beginning Monday, April 1, 2024 and continue until that portion of the project is completed. All staff and students should use the main entrance doors to enter the building during the school day. After school activities and after school visitors for events or continuing education may use the Middle School main entrance.
Interior Middle/High School Work:
Interior work will begin on March 29, 2024 and continue until that portion of the project is completed. During Spring recess, there will be a significant amount of demolition work with noise disruption to those who may be in the building.

Phase 2 starting March 18th, 2024
Phase two of the capital project will consist of several updates including classroom and bathroom renovations, a new Middle/High School main entrance, and a multi-purpose turf field and athletic complex.
The site contractor will begin establishing the staging area along Bulldog Boulevard and fencing off the construction perimeter for the turf project. Once the fencing is installed, they will begin some selective demolition. Therefore, the fields and sidewalk behind the field house will be closed until approximately December 2024.

The concession stand will have limited, pre-approved use.
