Clovis Unified is a Growing District

A drive within our 198-square-mile boundary quickly reveals new home construction and multi-family developments under construction that are projected to bring many new students to our schools. This, combined with existing overcrowding at several Clovis Unified campuses and a new state law requiring the opening of Transitional Kindergarten (TK) as a full grade level, have created the need for more classroom space. Clovis Unified is using developer fees and bond dollars to build three schools.

Satoshi Hirayama Elementary: Opening for TK-6th graders Fall 2024. McKinley and Fowler avenues.

Terry P. Bradley Educational Center: Includes Clovis South High School and a still-to-be-named intermediate school. Phased opening with 7-9th graders attending Fall 2025, and adding a grade level each year until fully operational by 2028. Highland and Clinton alignment.

However, a changing economy since initial plans were developed due to the pandemic and supply shortages dramatically increased costs.

“A 30% increase on a multi-million-dollar project is a lot of money that we cannot just make up by cutting back. We will do everything on our part to adjust plans and become innovative with finances, but these steep escalations likely require a future bond measure to ultimately complete the projects,” said Assistant Superintendent of Facility Services Denver Stairs.

Construction of these much-needed schools will focus first on building what is essential for school operations.

4.8 million square feet of building space; 537 acres of landscaping; 96% of parents say buildings and grounds are well-maintained; 35,000 events held at CUSD facilities by non-school groups
