Dear Wines school community,
As we continue our commitment to building and modernizing excellent facilities for students and staff, we are taking a thoughtful approach to ensure every project delivers the highest quality while remaining fiscally responsible.
The AAPS Capital Program team is engaging in a comprehensive re-evaluation of the Phase 2 construction and modernization plans for our facilities, including Wines Elementary School. This careful planning process will allow us to incorporate the most current construction cost data, inflationary cost realities, enrollment projections, and community input to create the best possible outcome for the school community.
The proposed 2026 Sinking Fund renewal will play a critical role in shaping the project timeline, scope, and resources available to deliver an outstanding facility for Wines Elementary students and staff. At this time, the AAPS Capital Program team anticipates the start of any facility project will shift by at least a year later than was originally scheduled, which will enable us to plan and budget with greater precision.
The Capital Program team is moving forward with these strategic next steps:
Partnering with the AAPS Finance team on the proposed Sinking Fund renewal in 2026
Collaborating with District Leadership to develop options and recommendations for Phase 2 refinements that best serve our students and community
Providing regular updates to the Bond Committee and Board of Education
Maintaining ongoing communication with school communities about project planning and Capital Plan updates
