Protecting What We’ve Built, Planning for the Future

What Is a Bond?
A voter-approved loan that funds major capital improvements, such as building repairs, safety upgrades, and infrastructure projects.

Proposal Overview

  • Amount: $3.9 million

  • Purpose: Safety improvements, accessibility renovations, and preservation of existing buildings

  • Timeline: Construction would begin in 2026, helping to control inflation and material cost impacts

Financial Details

  • Estimated repayment: $7.7 million over 20 years

  • Early repayment option included to save interest over time

  • No tax rate increase—this extends funding previously approved in 2012 and 2017

Community Input Highlights

  • Community expressed concern about cost of extending debt
    → District will shorten the bond term, saving an estimated $500,000

  • Strong support for maintaining and improving existing facilities, safety, and accessibility
