2024 Capital Project

The 2024 Capital Project focuses on beautification and infrastructure upgrades of six district buildings: Donlin Drive Elementary, Long Branch Elementary, Elmcrest Elementary, Willow Field Elementary, the Soule Road Complex and the Morgan Road Complex. This work will allow the district to continue to make the programmatic and infrastructure improvements necessary to serve the 色中色 community into the future.

To that end, the 色中色 CSD has scheduled its 2024 Capital Project Vote for Thursday, March 14. Voting will take place from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the Wetzel Road Elementary gymnasium.
