Fremont Public Schools Bond Issue Update

Career & Technical Education Center

Fremont, Neb. – (Aug. 26, 2021) On September 14 the citizens of Fremont will have an opportunity to decide the fate of a $123 million, no tax levy increase, bond issue. A major emphasis of the bond issue is being placed on a Career & Technical Education Center serving High School students.

“Career and Technical Education gives students a focus for the future,” said Todd Hansen, Executive Director of Student Services at Metropolitan Community College’s Fremont Area Center and current FPS Board of Education Member. “This fall we have approximately 388 students participating in CTE and dual credit courses at a greatly reduced rate, saving them and their family money while gaining valuable skill sets.”

Last spring, at Hansen’s urging, Fremont Public Schools surveyed students in grades 6 – 11 in regard to their interest in pursuing careers in various technical fields. Several areas of interest were identified through this survey leading to exploration for future programming. “The next step in the process is to identify opportunities in the community and surrounding areas with local industry to work with Fremont Public Schools in partnership with Metro to create coursework in these identified areas,” stated Scott Jensen, executive director of secondary education.

There was a time when schools taught industrial arts or industrial technology designed to teach skills that today would be considered hobby type interests. CTE courses are geared towards “High Skill, High Wage, High Demand” career opportunities. They are not designed to limit a student’s future in a particular job but rather as a gateway to a career pathway with growth potential.

Fremont currently has programming in the areas of Welding, Diesel, Health Care, Education/Teaching, Information Technologies and Criminal Justice. “Our current facilities at the high school and Metro’s Fremont Campus limit our ability to expand to include other offerings. The proposed new CTE Center identified as a prioritized project within the Bond Project List would ensure that our programming is not limited due to facilities,” stated Jensen.

“Our welding program has been a huge success and has provided us with the road map for developing similar courses of study in a variety of areas.” stated Mark Shepard, superintendent of schools. “The development of this facility will position our students, their families and our community well into the future.”

The District has built into the project list $9.5 million for a stand alone CTE Center with plans for the facility to be housed on the current high school / Clarmar field site. The design of the building would be to have 3-4 clean labs and 3-4 dirty labs. The clean labs could facilitate programming such as Health Occupations, Health Tech, Computer Graphic Design, Architecture / Drafting, Computer Technician / Coding, Robotics and Automation. The dirty labs could house programming such as Welding, Industrial Maintenance Technician, Automotive Tech, Diesel Tech and Construction Tech.

The 1,200 to 1,500 square foot clean labs and the 5,000 square foot dirty labs will be designed and equipped so they can be changed out periodically to meet the ever changing needs and opportunities presented by local industry. Grand Island, Columbus and Lincoln Public Schools have recently developed similar facilities. Local companies supported their efforts and had valuable input into the design and specifications needed to create industry relevant spaces.

Columbus leveraged local car dealerships to work directly with the design team, the school district and their community college to provide input into the Automotive Technology lab. Industry relevant tools, equipment and instruction provide students with the skills they need to pursue a career upon graduation or continue their education in this highly competitive field. “We welcome the opportunity to be involved in this important venture for Fremont, our community and our students. Fremont is home for our family and is where my father Sid Dillon started with a small Oldsmobile dealership store in 1976,” stated Sid Dillon Jr.

The CTE Center will be designed, located on the site and built with an eye to the future. The option of using this facility for attachment to a future new high school will be inherently designed into it. Location, with the future in mind, will be key for the community at a later date to determine both if and when a new high school would be needed.

To date, the District has graduated about 20 students a year that have completed the Welding program. Many students have gone on to pursue a career utilizing these valuable skills. Valmont in Valley and Columbus, Rosenbauer Aerials, S2, Timme Welding, Rebellion Fabrication, Smeal Manufacturing and Lozier in Omaha have all employed completers of the program. “Our company has supported this effort from the beginning,” stated Rob Kreikemeier of Rosenbauer. “The students come to us prepared to work. Not only do they have the technical skills which are necessary for the job, they also have acquired the soft skills which aren’t so common in the workforce today,” he concluded.

“The CTE Center is a prime example of what can be accomplished when the local school district, community college and industry leadership come together for the betterment of the community. A skilled workforce with opportunity for advancement in high need areas, through a grow your own process, is exactly what our community desires and needs,” commented Al Sawtelle, Greater Fremont Development Council board chair.

“The Health Occupations, EMT and Certified Nurses Assistant programming already in place has benefited our local health and long-term care providers in Fremont. Having a dedicated space as part of the proposed CTE Center will greatly enhance these opportunities,” stated Brett Richmond, Methodist Fremont Health CEO and Task Force for Kids campaign co-chair. “This truly represents a game changer with a long-term impact for our community,” he concluded.

Ballots were mailed out this week and are due back in the County Clerk’s office no later than 5:00 pm on September 14.

Fremont Public Schools Bond Issue Update

Elementary School Projects

Fremont, Neb. – (Aug. 19, 2021) On September 14 the citizens of Fremont will have an opportunity to decide the fate of a $123 million, no tax levy increase, bond issue. A major emphasis of the bond issue is being placed on pre-kindergarten through fourth grade elementary schools. The slate of projects includes renovating and updating two of the District’s seven elementary buildings, Milliken Park and Linden Elementaries, razing and rebuilding Washington Elementary and Howard Elementary on their current sites, and razing and rebuilding Clarmar Elementary on a new site in eastern Fremont.

“The 1999 and 2010 bond issues primarily focused on secondary schools and providing space at the elementary levels – this bond issue provides the opportunity for our elementary buildings to play a little catch-up,” stated Mark Shepard superintendent of schools.

In 1999, the community passed a bond issue that built the Middle School, created additional space with the science wing and middle gym at the High School, built Bell Field Elementary school, the first new school since Milliken Park opened in 1978, provided space for full day kindergarten and for the first time in history, providing air conditioning in the elementary classrooms.

In 2010, the community passed a bond issue that moved the fifth graders out of the elementary schools into the newly developed Johnson Crossing Academic Center for grades five and six, which provided space for preschool programs, created a small addition to Clarmar Elementary and razed and rebuilt a large portion of Linden Elementary. Classroom additions and additional commons space were also added at the High School.

“The bond issue the community will vote on through a mail-in ballot, over the next several weeks, provides the opportunity for our community to take a huge step forward and in particular for our pre-kindergarten through fourth grade buildings,” commented Sandi Proskovec, Board of Education President. “When evaluated by the professionals, many of our buildings built in the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s fall short based on how well they accommodate student learning with current educational systems and the utilization of technology.” The traditional building design of double classroom loaded corridors has not been utilized for elementary building construction for many years.

The electrical systems to equip a classroom in the 1950’s through the early 70’s were basically an outlet in the front and rear of the classroom to accommodate a film projector, overhead projector, a fan and a vacuum for cleaning. The first personal computers began showing up in classrooms in the mid 80’s, and today all 5,000 Fremont Public School students have access to a computer device throughout the day.

Modern school designs have space for students to gather in small and large groups as well as classrooms designed and equipped for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math) hands-on learning. Bell Field, the District’s newest elementary school, was constructed in the early 2000’s and has many of the modern school design features built in. BVH Architects is taking the design features from Bell Field that teachers and administrators have noted work extremely well and is building them into the district’s design for the three new buildings. The footprint and capacity of the new elementaries will be enlarged to accommodate four classrooms for each grade level, allowing for greater efficiencies for staffing, special programming, food service and transportation.

The current plan calls for Washington and Howard’s new buildings to be built on their current sites, where play fields currently exist. Upon completion, the current buildings will be removed and the sites restored for playgrounds and play fields. Linden Elementary will receive additional classrooms allowing for the 1950’s addition to be removed, making Linden’s oldest portion of the building at the same age as Bell Field. Milliken Park, a 1978 “open space” design, will have separation walls inserted and a new HVAC system to meet current safety, security and indoor air quality standards.

When Bell Field was built there were a handful of schools across the state that utilized ground source geo-thermal wells for their HVAC systems. Since then many schools have incorporated this as the technology has been further developed and implemented. Johnson Crossing, the District’s newest building constructed in 2010, incorporates this technology. BVH and Morrissey Engineering will be designing geo-thermal technology and LED lighting into their plans to allow the District to achieve energy efficiency with a simple payback. The new technology being implemented will replace conventional boiler heat and electric roof top units for cooling and air exchange. The new elementary buildings will be designed to be close to energy neutral, while adding additional square footage. This not only helps the district’s operating budget, it does not burden our community’s energy availability.

Grant Elementary, which has received attention during the two previous bond issues, is not scheduled to be part of this project. “Grant has been a challenge for many years in that it is located in very close proximity to Howard and has over the past 20 years not housed many students,” Shepard stated. “Our current plan anticipates keeping it open to continue to serve the Grant neighborhood and accommodate student growth and special programs within the community,” Shepard added. “Grant students, parents and families have expressed concerns about the site’s future; they love their small, inviting neighborhood school and want it to continue to serve their families. At this point, there are no plans to do anything different than that,” stated Kevin Eairleywine, Executive Director for Human Resources and Elementary Operations.

Ballots will be mailed out on August 24 and are due back in the County Clerk’s office no later than 5:00 pm on September 14.
