WILLCOX, Ariz. — A 75-year-old school in Willcox is one of many getting improvements thanks to a bond approval from last November. Willcox Unified School District Superintendent Kevin Davis says they received $7 million dollars in May to start on the projects.Part of the bond funding will allow for the renovation of more than 80 classrooms across the school district, most of which will be in the elementary school.
Bond committee member Jennifer Wilson says the the bond process takes time. Which is why the work on the projects didn't begin until summer.Wilson says the classrooms were the perfect place to start because of when the funding came in and because, over the summer, there wouldn't be a lot of people on campus.
“To have a new look like this, I think, will really help staff feel like they have a nice place to come to work...," Davis said." build some pride in our school and for our community to see that, too.” “These classrooms have taken a lot longer to complete because they're just so old," Davis said."There was so much more work than they required.”
