Chandler Public Schools

The Chandler Public Schools district has 1,250 students in four schools housed within six school buildings. The district is located in a rural region that has light industry. Though a spectrum of socioeconomic conditions exists within the district, the 48 percent of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Chandler?s $875,000 QZAB was issued in the fall of 1998 and was used for Eastside Elementary School. Renovations included a new roof and new heating/air conditioning units. Many private entities supported Eastside in its efforts, and provided services such as tutoring programs.

Elgin Public Schools

The Elgin Public Schools district is composed of one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. About 1,400 students attend these three schools, and 40 percent of these students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Elgin received $500,000 in QZAB money, which is being utilized to fund equipment purchases of doors, a rolling shutter, wooden floor, basketball poles, seating, and a heating/air conditioning unit for the shared gymnasium.

Private partners include Hurst Construction, the Bank of Elgin, and Pepsi-Cola. Hurst is contributing construction management and equipment for the renovation of a running track. The Bank of Elgin and Pepsi-Cola are contributing equipment and funding.
