What it Funds
The proposed bond is designed to address current and future student needs by improving academic, athletic, and community-use facilities across the district.
Proposed Projects
Fine Arts Building (950 seats)
A new performing arts facility with dedicated classroom space to serve both middle school and high school students, supporting music, theater, and other fine arts programs.
Middle School Gymnasium
The current gymnasium no longer accommodates the size of the middle school student body. This addition will provide adequate space for physical education and athletics, including a dedicated wrestling room.
Multi-Purpose Field House
A flexible indoor facility designed to support physical education classes, athletic programs, and potential community use.
Outdoor Facilities Expansion (West of High School)
Development of existing district-owned property to expand student and community access to outdoor activities, including:
- Baseball and softball fields
- Two soccer fields
- Outdoor basketball courts
- Pickleball/tennis courts
- One-mile walking path
- Parking improvements
Middle School Traffic & Parking Improvements
Updates to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance safety during student drop-off and pick-up.
Dedicated Bus Loading Zone
A separate bus loading area designed to clearly separate bus traffic from cars and pedestrians, improving safety and overall efficiency.
Why This Bond is Recommended
Student Safety & Traffic Flow
Current congestion during drop-off and pick-up creates safety and efficiency challenges. Improvements are designed to better manage traffic patterns and separate buses, vehicles, and pedestrian movement.
Overuse & Limited Space
Existing facilities are heavily used, with shared or limited space for athletics and fine arts. As programs continue to grow, additional and dedicated spaces are needed to support student participation.
Equity in Student Experience
These improvements help ensure students have access to facilities that support a well-rounded educational experience, aligning opportunities with those commonly available in neighboring districts.
Community Access & Use
Proposed facilities are designed to serve both students and the broader community, supporting recreation, events, and local activities.
Planning for the Future
The bond addresses current needs while preparing for continued growth. Proactive planning helps improve infrastructure now and reduce larger challenges in the future.
Tax Impact Statement: The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed bond levy is a tax of $277 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions.
