![]() The process of replacing two long-standing schools that are a part of the Flagstaff Unified School District is expected to get underway later this spring. Last year voters in the district approved a $100 million bond package that will fund the demolition of the Kinsey Elementary School, located at 1601 S. Lone Tree Road; and the Marshall Elementary School at 850 N. Bonito Street. Both schools were built in the 1950s and have for several years needed extensive heating, cooling, and electrical upgrades. Deciding that those upgrades would be too expensive, the district instead called for a bond allowing it to build entirely new replacement facilities. According to the bond language, the building of a new Kinsey and Marshall school is expected to cost a combined $50 million. An additional $12 million in bond funding will go for the replacement and rebuilding of the district’s transportation and maintenance facilities. It is thought that the Marshall school project will be completed by the fall of 2025, with the Kinsey school ready for students some 12 months later. By Garry Boulard
