Background: An independent study, funded jointly by the commissioners and school board in 2019, identified more than $2 billion in facility needs in our schools. Following the study, a facilities master plan was developed to address these critical infrastructure needs, including building, rebuilding and fully renovating schools across Guilford County, as well as safety and technology upgrades for our schools. Showing a broad base of support, Guilford County voters overwhelmingly approved a $300 million bond referendum in 2020 and a $1.7 billion school bond in 2022 to help fund the facilities master plan that will make a difference for Guilford County students for years to come.
