Introduction and Overview

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting Ladue School District’s Future-Ready Schools website! This site has been developed and will be continually updated in order to provide the Ladue Schools community with up-to-date, accurate Front of Spoede Elementaryinformation about the district’s processes for determining whether and when to ask taxpayers for support in addressing facility issues that have been identified at the district’s four K-4 elementary schools and Ladue Middle School.

We hope you will take a few moments to roam around the site and learn more about these proposed projects which, if completed, would make all Ladue School District school future ready and eliminate the need for the district to ask taxpayers for any additional funding for facilities for many years to come.

As you will see in the Research section of this website, the district recently completed phone and online surveys to gauge patron support for these projects. These results were presented at the Nov. 23, 2020 Board of Education meeting and will be a key component in the Board’s determination on how to move forward with these projects

If you have a question or concern that is not addressed here, we encourage you to get in touch with us at input@ladueschools.net. Questions of broad interest will be added to the Frequently Asked Questions section of this site.


The following information is included on this site…

Background. Find out how we identified needs at our K-4 and middle school campuses and what has led us to consider moving forward with these improvements.

Project Research. Learn about the research the district has completed to date and is currently undertaking to inform their decisions about these projects.

Funding.  This section outlines the funding approaches the district is asking taxpayers to consider for funding these projects. An interactive Tax Calculator is included so you can see the estimated increase in property tax (if any) for an individual home.

Building Concepts.  This section includes the concepts currently being refined for Old Bonhomme Elementary School, Spoede Elementary School and Ladue Middle School — the three schools which are in need of the most extensive improvements. Also included is a list of the features being incorporated into these projects. As these plans are further refined, the most recent concepts will be displayed so you can watch them evolve over time.

Community Participation. There are many ways for our community to virtually learn more about these projects and to share thoughts and ideas. This section provides all the details!

About Our Partners. A vitally important initial step in this process was selecting the right partners to work beside us. This section tells you about these impressive companies, as well as how and why they were selected.

Frequently Asked Questions. This is where we will put answers to the questions we receive most frequently.

News and Publications.  In this section, we will include all articles, videos and media coverage related to this project. There have already been five articles shared with our Ladue Schools community through our Link newsletter that is mailed to all district households. If you missed reading them, you can find them in this section.
