Capital Projects Completed
In 2021 and 2024, the West Valley community approved the Capital Levy replacement. This three-year levy must be renewed by voters and stays in our community to support West Valley students. Levies generate a set amount of revenue to the district each year of their three-year term.
What West Valley Has Done
Each January, the district assesses facilities needs and makes a plan for the projects to be completed that year. Here’s what we’ve recently accomplished with Capital Levy funds:
2024-25 School Year
- Facilities: Completed construction on additional spaces at Pasadena Park and Ness Elementary Schools to accommodate for kindergarten students in the fall of 2025
- Facilities: Started work to complete roof replacement of the south side of West Valley High School (began in 2023 when the north side of the building roof was replaced)
2023-24 School Year
- Facilities: Replaced half the roof at West Valley High School and started construction on classroom space at Pasadena Park and Ness Elementary Schools to accommodate for kindergarten students in the fall of 2025
- Safety and Security: Camera replacements in schools
2022-23 School Year
- Technology and Infrastructure: Updated internet infrastructure in four schools, updated the smartboards, projectors and technology licenses for every middle school classroom, and updated the internet and student data security programs
- Facilities Updates: Made repairs and updates to the HVAC systems at Ness and Orchard Center elementary schools and replaced the gym floor at WVHS

2021-22 School Year
- Facilities Updates: Made repairs and updates to the HVAC systems at Seth Woodard and Pasadena Park elementary schools and replaced the gym floor at West Valley High School.

The state does not pay for building repair or maintenance. School districts rely on voter-approved levies and bonds to fund these projects. This funding stays in our community and directly supports West Valley students.
