Check out the makeover at Mollie Ray Elementary
The public has a great opportunity to check out the serious
makeover of Mollie Ray Elementary School on Wednesday.
The school district is holding a sneak peek from 4 p.m. to
6 p.m. on Wednesday to check out the building at 2000 Beecher Street, just off North
Pine Hills Road.
The work included construction of the admin office,
classrooms, cafeteria, art and music labs, expanded parking lot, covered
walkways and student drop-off loop. They updated the technology in the
classrooms with new computers and touch screen panels. Overall the project cost
$19 million.
The money was provided through a voter referendum to impose
a half-cent sales tax that has raised $4 billion for Orange County public school
construction.
Unlike many other school districts, new schools are
typically being built in the newly developed neighborhoods. However, the deal
to impose the tax required the district to build new schools or perform major
overhauls at schools in older communities.
Orange County has the 10th largest school
district in the nation.
