Oak Springs/Blackshear Elementary School
As part of the 2022 Bond, Oak Springs Elementary School will be receiving a full modernization of the existing campus at its current location. The new building will feature flexible learning spaces to support a variety of learning styles, designed in partnership with the community. Project design began in fall 2023 and construction on the modernized campus resumed in spring 2026.
During construction, school activities will be relocated to Blackshear Elementary School. In May 2026, members of the Blackshear Elementary Community were invited to join the Campus Architectural Team (CAT) as the two campuses will be consolidated at the modernized Oak Springs location when the project is complete. The Blackshear and Oak Springs communities will be working together to ensure that the modernized campus design meets the needs and reflects the cultures of both communities and the combined campus.
