Approval of the bond proposal will improve student safety and security, enhance the K-12 educational program, address aging infrastructures, correct geographical concerns, increase building efficiency, and protect the community's investment in its schools.

In the coming months, we will keep the community informed as we move forward with the bond proposal projects.

Thank you to all the parents, students, staff, and other members of the community who helped us inform people about the bond proposal.
