Members of the School Board would like to hear from the community about the 2024 School Modernization and Construction Bond and potential next steps. The bond measure, which was on the November 5 ballot, received just over 50% approval but fell short of the required 60% supermajority needed to pass.
The School Board has scheduled two listening sessions, and the district is launching a ThoughtExchange to hear from students, staff, families and community members. Information about each of these is included below.
The listening sessions for the board and staff to hear from the community about the bond measure will be:
- 5:30-6:45 p.m. on December 9 at Pine Lake Middle School.
- 7:30-8:45 p.m. on December 9 at Cougar Mountain Middle School.
To participate in the ThoughtExchange, visit the website to share your thoughts, and then please rate the thoughts of others who share (rating thoughts helps us see the themes and trends among the thoughts). If you participate early in the ThoughtExchange, please revisit it later to rate thoughts that come in after you participate. The exchange will be open from November 18 through December 2.
