        Chappelow K-8 Bond Project

        • Proposed Repairs and Renovation in the 2019 Bond Issue

          Chappelow was converted to an Arts Magnet K-8 two decades ago. The school does not have a neighborhood boundary and all students are open enrolled from areas throughout District 6. Chappelow and the arts magnet program have been a popular choice for students and parents, and the school is more than 200 students over capacity. 

           

          Despite the school's focus on the fine arts, Chappelow has no formal performing arts space. Therefore, a significant addition is proposed for the school that would include additional classrooms that will facilitate the removal of temporary, portable buildings, and the construction of a performing arts space, to be determined with input from the school community. 

           

          In addition, repairs and renovations to the existing building will include enhanced safety and security, including an improved entry; replacement of aging heating and cooling systems, replacement of worn carpet and flooring, and asbestos abatement where needed; replacement of plumbing fixtures; replacement of aging door hardware to improve function and security; painting and refinishing walls and ceilings based on greatest need; replacement of select kitchen equipment, installation of energy efficient lighting and accessibility improvements in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Improvements will also be made to some classrooms and learning spaces.
