To our Clipper Community:
It has been brought to our attention that there are lingering concerns regarding the status of the Athletic Facilities renovations and expenditures. At the latest Board of Education meeting, we demonstrated our commitment to the improvement of Athletic Facilities as well as Joshua Dixon, CMS, and CHS buildings. In fact, we have spent $14million in facility upgrades over the past 14 years, including:
-New CMS roof
-CMS flooring
-CHS and CMS gym floor refinishing
-5 new boilers ($500,000)
-School Buses
-Locker Room Tile
-Athletic Scoreboard
-Security Improvements
-Window Replacements
-Firestone Stadium ($300,000)
We have identified over $5million in needed school repairs and upgrades in the 2025-2026 school year and approximately $3million in Athletic Facility improvements. As we presented in our October BOE meeting, identifying expenditures within the district as a whole is a very important first step to establishing a plan and timeline for improvement. The second step is prioritizing those expenditures. We recognize that the prioritization of these expenditures is relative to each family. It is our duty as a district to navigate within the realities of our budget and work on behalf of the district as a whole. As such, we have been working with our incredibly dedicated Board of Education, Administration, and Boosters team to secure naming rights and funding for Baseball and Softball Fields to be completed in the next year to year and half. We are following the same process for improvements that have been in place over the past 15 years. We want to be clear: the projects will be in progress ,and we plan to garner additional financial support to supplement the district's budget before we can present a solid construction timeline to the community. We want to express our gratitude to our families for their trust in this process that takes time to put in motion and will continue to provide updates as projects move forward.

CMS: We are excited to announce that starting this Friday (9/26), the PTO Snack Cart will be rolling out during Success Period.
Students will be able to grab a variety of snacks (priced $1-$2) to enjoy during their day. It's a fun way for them to refuel and enjoy a treat — and even better, proceeds from the snack cart will directly support our PBIS program and the PTO! ♥️
Your support helps us continue rewarding positive student behavior with incentives that make a difference.
🗓️ Starts: Friday, 9/26, and will continue every Friday through the school year
🕐 When: During Success Period
💰 Why: To raise funds for PBIS, the PTO, and to give students a snack break!
Thank you for helping our PTO support our amazing students!
