RCSD is moving forward with the next phase of classroom HVAC upgrades at Henry Ford and Roy Cloud schools. Building on earlier work already completed or underway, this phase continues the district’s effort to improve classroom comfort and air quality. Construction is expected in Summer 2027 through Measure S funding.

Lighting across our campuses has been upgraded to more energy-efficient systems helping us reduce energy consumption while keeping spaces well-lit for learning.

Roy Cloud School is receiving lighting upgrades as part of RCSD’s Energy Efficiency Project. New energy-efficient fixtures use motion and sound sensors to automatically adjust based on daylight and room use, which may cause lighting to change throughout the day. These upgrades help reduce energy use across campuses, and staff and families can support the system by following updated guidance on how the new lighting operates.

During the October 16 Board Study Session, the Board of Trustees presented three conceptual scenarios outlining possible approaches for implementing Measure S projects identified in the Facilities Master Plan (FMP). 

The plan charts the course for improving classrooms, infrastructure, and learning spaces across RCSD—identifying more than $819 million in needed repairs, upgrades, modernization, and construction over the next 8 to 10 years.

The Board of Trustees approved multiple initiatives aimed at improving climate control in local schools. These measures are part of ongoing efforts to optimize learning conditions for students across the district, a priority identified early last fall.
