2024 Bond to Build a New Elementary
Thank you for investing in Williston's future!
In April 2024, voters approved a $35 million bond to partially finance the construction of a new elementary school for Williston Basin School District #7. With an impressive 66% approval rate, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the community for your unwavering support!
The estimated total project cost of the new elementary school is $55 million, with the district contributing $20 million (36%) from District Building Funds.

Plan
The plan is to build one new elementary school. This plan will increase elementary capacity by 600+ students and allow the District to bring 5th grade back into elementary schools from Williston Middle School Central Campus. Additionally, this solution will accommodate elementary facilities to operate at or below the goal of 25 students per classroom and start to reduce reliance on non-permanent modular classrooms, although not remove them until a second elementary project is approved.
