Track and field maintenance
The rubber surface of the track is deteriorating and is currently only being patched. Large chunks of the track are coming off and creating depressions in the track which leads to safety concerns.
The deterioration of the track is due, in part, to drainage issues.
Due to drainage issues with the field, games have had to be relocated to the middle school because of poor field conditions at game times.
Due to the excessive field crown and drainage issues, our soccer program is not able to play matches on the current high school field. Since the soccer program was implemented, practices are located at the elementary school and games have been played at the middle school field.
Due to soccer practices being located at the elementary school, athletes do not have access to locker rooms or storage for any of their equipment.

HVAC upgrades in all district buildings
The ability to maintain a consistent temperature in many classrooms is challenging due to the outdated HVAC control system software. In the previous referendum improvements were made to a majority of the mechanical HVAC systems, however most of the control system software was not replaced. HVAC systems have a published life span of 15-20 years; the current unit at the high school is 23 years old.
Classroom technology and security upgrades
Smartboards need to be replaced due to low screen quality, and an inability to be wireless.
Indoor digital signage is needed in all facilities for better communication, as well as a means to communicate emergency issues.
Cellular boosters would help with school security in emergency situations.
Cyber security additions and upgrades would expand on existing security systems.
Competitive salary model to attract and retain high quality staff
SCC salary is below the average of the 12 area competing school districts
Salary adjustments made for those staff who are underpaid only.
We believe competitive salary is needed to attract and retain the highest quality staff.
