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

• Lower prioritization of outdoor learning and broad facility upgrades, so these are not included in the current proposal
