On Tuesday, November 6, 2007, the voters of Fairfax County passed a bond referendum for school construction by 77 percent.

The 2007 bond referendum includes $160.8 million for renovations, including $40.8 million to renovate Longfellow Middle School and $110 million for renovations to Beech Tree, Stenwood, Westlawn, Franconia, Oakton, and Lake Anne Elementary Schools; $10 million for renovation planning at Clifton and Canterbury Woods Elementary Schools, Marshall High School, and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology; $65 million for new construction and modulars; and $29.75 million for infrastructure management, including technology network upgrades, roof replacements, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) replacements, and improvements required by the Americans With Disabilities Act. The bond referendum also includes $50 million for a bus service facility, which is a cooperative project with Fairfax County government and will not be counted toward FCPS’ annual capital improvement spending. Also included is $38.6 million to cover inflation adjustment for projects that were funded by a previous bond.
