Bond Accountability

  • The district has a history of completing bond projects on time and on budget. The district also works hard to save taxpayer money by repeating school designs. For the 2013 bond, the school district was able to build two new high schools for the same total cost that many school districts typically spend on one high school. This was done through careful planning, repeating our design across both schools, taking advantage of market conditions, and being conservative and focusing on the critical function of our schools.
