Will days we have invested significant time and effort into exploring all possible options to address these critical needs through this process we determined that a general obligation bond is the only feasible option for the district make the improvements needed to it school facilities given the extent of infrastructure needs in our building a general obligation Bond benefits our entire Community the projects to improve our schools will create local jobs and boost our community's economy many of the projects planned will lead to energy-efficient classrooms saving money in the long run some will improve school campuses to serve as gathering places for neighbors and community group a general obligation Bond also comes with taxpayers they've guard funds must be spent locally and overseen by a taxpayer oversight committee finally we all benefit when our students receive the best possible education good schools contribute to increased Community safety and higher property values they also provide education and job training for the workforce of the future this community has a long history of supporting Pub education we invite you to once again partner with us as we explore the best solution to these critical needs on behalf of our school district thank you for your engagement on this important issue
