I realize this is a very broad overview of the proposed projects, but I want to start the process of getting information out early so you can see the direction we’re headed and the improvements we’re working toward. In the coming weeks, our architect will provide detailed renderings of the major projects. Once those are complete, we will share them on our district website and through our social media channels so that everyone can get a clearer visual of what these upgrades will look like. Our goal is to keep you fully informed from start to finish.
Over the coming weeks, we will share more details about each project. I also welcome the opportunity to meet with individuals, small groups, or organizations to explain the bond issue and answer questions.
This is your school district, and we want every voter to be fully informed before October 14.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and staff.
