BHS/BTC 2025

In August of 2020, while planning for a major renovation project, BSD discovered extensive PCB contamination in the air throughout the high school and technical center campus, forcing the District to close the entire campus to in-person learning and move to temporary space in Downtown Burlington. 

In November 2022, Burlington residents will vote on a bond to support the construction of a new high school and technical center in the Queen City. The new campus will be located on Institute Road and designed to be a flexible, accessible, and sustainable school for 21st Century learning.

Because Vermont does not offer assistance to school districts that need to build or renovate schools, Burlington residents will be asked to pay for much of the cost of the building. Burlington School District has worked hard to set aside $25m in BSD resources and funds to support this project, but they need your help to keep even more of  the cost of this building down for all taxpayers. 

To learn more about why this project and why we need a new school, please visit the Burlington School District’s BHS/BTC 2025 website. If you are interested in making a larger donation and in naming rights, please contact Russ Elek at relek@bsdvt.org.
