Planning for New Construction Could Lead to Future Debt

📅 November 4, 2026

The board is holding a workshop to discuss facility needs, including the potential for ‘new construction’ of a bus barn. This is often the first step toward a multi-million dollar bond or issuing debt without voter approval, which could raise property taxes.

Response

ATTEND & ASK QUESTIONS: This is the first step toward a major spending project. Attend the workshop (Item 4) to ask how the district plans to pay for this and demand that any future debt be put before the voters for approval.

💰 Impact: Future Bond or Debt
