QUESTION: Why does the district need to re-build more schools? ANSWER: Keeping 55 school buildings safe, modern and ready for growth requires a long-range, phased approach to re-building and updating our schools. District leaders anticipated the need to gradually construct new, replace or update aging school buildings 20 years ago, and set out on a long-range plan that continues today. Many of the projects on the 2024 bond, the latest phase in this ongoing plan, are for schools that are 60 to more than 100 years old. With more than 55 buildings to maintain for approximately 29,000 students and 5,000 staff, the district’s phased approach addresses the needs of the district and keeps tax bills stable. This process is explored in further depth in a video at?https://lnkd.in/dTPP5V6M. More Frequently Asked Questions about the bond and levy can be found at https://lnkd.in/gF5VyEXC.
