MAPS for Kids Schematic Design Options for Green Pastures Elementary School to be Presented

Oklahoma City – Green Pastures Elementary School will host its second community meeting to review proposed schematic design options and project schedule for its MAPS for Kids renovation.  Parents, teachers and the public are encouraged to attend and provide feedback at the meeting scheduled for Thursday, April 3, 2008, at 6 p.m. in the school’s cafeteria, 4300 N Post Road, Spencer, OK.

Established in 1954, the Green Pastures Panthers are a part of the Star Spencer learning community with students graduating to Roger Middle School and then Star Spencer High School.  As part of the MAPS for Kids renovation, the school will be converted from a pre-kindergarten through fifth grade to a pre- kindergarten through sixth grade school.  Planned renovations include a classroom addition and an expansion of the school’s core facilities.  The construction budget for Green Pastures’ renovation is $3.3 million.

With the passage of the MAPS for Kids initiative in November 2001 came approximately $700 million in funding from sales taxes and bond funds necessary for capital improvements in Oklahoma City’s 24 public school districts.  Approximately $530 million of those monies are designated for Oklahoma City Public Schools.  Under the MAPS for Kids plan, four community meetings will be held for each school that will be rebuilt and fully renovated. 

If you need a sign language interpreter, a language interpreter or have a disability requiring assistance at the meeting, please call 879-2007, by April 1st.
