Redmond School Board sends $97.7 million 'renewal bond' measure to Nov. ballot, keeping current property tax rate
REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Redmond School Board voted unanimously last week to place a renewal bond measure before voters on the Nov. 5 general election ballot. It represents the second phase of a two-part construction program to make long-term repairs and improve student opportunities in the Redmond School District without raising taxes.
District leadership and the Community Bond Task Force, a volunteer group of parents, staff, and community members, spent the past year reviewing building condition assessments, educational adequacy, and capacity needs across district facilities, according to Monday's news release, which continues in full:
This team spent the spring conducting community and staff listening sessions, parent surveys, and research polling to gather input and feedback on the proposed package before making their recommendation to the board.
The proposed renewal bond would raise $97.7 million to help fund projects to increase safety, preserve the life of school buildings, make critical repairs to Redmond High School and expand student opportunities in CTE.
