THE PLAN

One Question Bond Referendum on November 4

What is the Plan?

A Solution to Serve All Learners
A One-Question Bond Referendum on Nov. 4, 2025

If approved, this plan will include:

Additional classrooms for career and technical education, larger special education rooms, small group rooms, additional right sized general classrooms, storage space along, a new secondary corridor connection


Physical education space to solve scheduling conflicts, indoor recess space, adequate physical education space for elementary students, additional bleacher space, new weight room

New secure entrance - our goal is an even safer school for our students, staff and visitors


New roof, tuckpointing, seal the building envelope


Renovated common areas, restrooms, new LED light fixtures, safe and secure outdoor teaching and learning space

The referendum would address long-term maintenance costs that annual state maintenance funding can’t cover.

How will the money be spent?

What’s different about this referendum?

The 2023 proposal was a $28 million bond referendum that was defeated by voters. The 2025 referendum is a $34.9 million request. It is more expensive due to inflation and a different and updated project proposal. The term of the bond would be 20 years. (Updated 9/30/25)

After the last referendum was defeated, a second steering committee and the school board listened to the community survey and community voices to make positive improvements to the plan, compared to the 2023 proposal, such as adding additional classrooms, maintaining the existing elementary gym, and expanding on career and technical education space. The 2025 referendum proposal has made improvements to the plan that factor in the previous bond election results and community feedback.
