The Sports Pavilion at The Studios @ Central is beginning to rise from the blacktop. A similar Sports Pavilion is also under construction at Ishi Hills Middle School. Funding for these projects is from our Expanded Learning Opportunities Program.

Over the Christmas break, new ceiling tiles and blinds were installed in the gym at The Studios @ Central.

Over the holiday break, OCESD's food services staff prepared and distributed over 1,800 meals to OCESD students. The nutritious meals were greatly appreciated during a time of year when students do not typically have access to school meals. Great work OCESD Food Services staff!

Construction has begun on the footings for the covered outdoor sports pavilions at Ishi Hills Middle School and The Studios @ Central. The steel structures were fabricated in Michigan and delivered via 14 semi-trucks so once the footings are ready, we can proceed with construction immediately. The structures, in addition to new playground equipment and shade structures at our elementary schools, are being funded with Expanded Learning Opportunities Program funding.

The Studios at Central and Ishi Hills holiday band concert. They all played great!

Principal for the day at Ophir. She did awesome.

Ishi Hills sixth graders at the ninja Warrior workout?

Ninja Warriors from our middle schools. Both Studios and Ishi Hill students who had 95% or better attendance get to be part of this incentive program.

Oroville City Elementary School District put a bond measure on this year's ballot to raise funds for much-needed facility improvements to our aging buildings and also to expand Ishi Hills Middle School to accommodate growth and inclusion of career technical education programs. This bond would have replaced our expiring bond from 20 years ago, so homeowner taxpayers would not see a tax increase, but an extension of the current taxes paid. OCESD would also use these funds to be able to access the State bond funding that did pass in this election, Proposition 2. This school bond would require 55% of voter approval to pass. Our bond measure, Measure E, received 53.75% in support, just 135 votes shy of the 55.0% threshold to pass. We are disappointed with the result but would like to thank all of the people and groups that helped support our bond measure. Though this is a setback for the district, this will not change our focus on providing the best possible education for thousands of students who live in the Oroville community every day.
