Kristen talked about the Bond Proposal coming up on the November 4th ballot. The proposal will keep the District’s tax rate at 3.7 mills, the same as it has been since 2020, and will fund improvements such as safety and security, addressing infrastructure needs, and upgrading learning environments.
She also shared that the District is offering “Coffee Chats” to allow the public to discuss the proposal.
