How We Got Here

Over the past year, the Williamsburg Community School District Board of Education and Administration have been thoughtfully evaluating how to best meet the long-term facility needs of our students, staff, and community. This important work began last November, following the outcome of the previous bond vote.

 

While the bond referendum was not approved, we deeply respect and appreciate the voice of our community. That decision sparked meaningful reflection and renewed commitment to listening, learning, and planning with care.

 

Since then, we’ve continued to assess our facilities and available resources as part of the District’s Long-Range Facilities Plan. In January, and again in May, we reached out to our community through a survey to better understand your priorities and concerns. Your feedback has been invaluable.

 

In response, the Board and leadership team have been actively exploring new and more financially feasible options. These include reducing the overall cost of the proposal, phasing improvements over time, and aligning the pace of change with what feels financially comfortable for our community.

 

One clear take-away from your input is the importance of strengthening our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. As a result, the Board is prioritizing improvements to our CTE spaces as the next step in our facilities’ plan, an investment that supports hands-on learning, workforce readiness, and student success.

 

We’re committed to making smart, community-driven decisions that reflect our shared values and vision for the future. Thank you for continuing to engage with us as we work together to build a stronger tomorrow for Williamsburg students.
