Whats the long-term plan for schools in our community?
The total need for the district at this point is $615 million, the majority of which is needed on the Westside for renovation and replacement to make sure all schools can last the next 30-50 years. The bond must respond to the most urgent needs at this time. That includes life and safety needs for west side schools and a desk for all east side students in high-growth areas. In future bonds over the next 20-30 years, the other Westside needs will be met. In this bond as now configured, growth funds are weighted to the eastside, but the Westside received the vast majority of the funds for renovation.
