BACKGROUND
Background
Guilford County voters have approved a total of $2.0 billion in school bond referendums to address school capital needs identified through a comprehensive facilities master plan jointly developed by the Guilford County Board of Education and Guilford County Board of Commissioners. The funding plan calls for $500 million to address deferred capital renovations to support addressing needs at every school across the county.
On September 9, 2025, the Guilford County Schools Board of Education (BOE) approved realigning remaining funds from completed or closed projects, totaling $3,585,974. These projects included Brooks Global Studies and Claxton Elementary, and prior budgeted funds for Cone Elementary and Florence Elementary. The Board of Education approved utilizing those funds to expand renovation efforts at Dudley High School, District-Wide Projects, Fairview Elementary, Kernodle Middle, Oak Hill Elementary, Southern High School, Southwest Elementary, Southwest High School, and Western High School.
