WHITE BEAR LAKE AREA SCHOOLS BUILD THE FUTURE
BY MARISA VETTE , APR , DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS , WHITE BEAR LAKE AREA SCHOOLS
The White Bear Lake Area Schools facilities projects that address building needs across the district are almost complete . Construction crews have been digging in and making headway at all of our sites in the years since our residents supported the $ 326 million Building Our Future bond referendum in 2019 .
The list of completed projects throughout the district has grown and now includes the new Transportation
Facility , the new North Star Elementary , renovations at the Area Learning Center , and renovations and additions at White Bear Lake Area High School - South Campus and all of our Elementary Schools .

Finance and Operations . “ The year we spent talking about the needs and dreaming about what learning could look like for our students gave us a strong foundation , and it ’ s been exciting to watch the comprehensive facilities plan take shape over the last five years .”
While there has been a lot of progress , there is still work to be done . This coming summer , Sunrise Park Middle School students and staff will move to
