Catalyst construction photo August 2023On November 3, 2020, Newberg and Dundee voters passed a $141 million Construction Bond for Newberg-Dundee Public Schools.
 
We are incredibly grateful for this support, which has allowed us to: construct a new elementary school in Dundee, remodel and expand Edwards Elementary School, completely renovate the Career and Technical Education (CTE) facility at Newberg High School, expand Catalyst Alternative High School (shown above), improve access, update classrooms, and perform important maintenance at all schools in the district.

History

Throughout the fall of 2019 and the spring of 2020, the district gathered a variety of community stakeholders in a Bond Development Committee. This work was facilitated by BRIC Architecture and led to the Newberg School Board placing the bond on the November 2020 ballot. The final project list was carefully developed after previous work on a Long Range Facilities plan, created throughout the spring and summer of 2018. Mahlum Architects facilitated those meetings, which resulted in a final draft of a Long Range Facilities Plan. On June 4, 2019, the committee had the chance to give feedback on the plan to the district. 

 

Below are the presentations and all the minutes from those meetings. The final reports are at the top. The state facility condition assessment forms are also listed.
