To help our community better understand the proposed School Construction Bond and Education Levy renewal that will appear on the February 2026 ballot, we have created a series of informational videos. These videos are designed to explain how school bonds and levies work, what is being proposed, and how the measures would impact our students, staff, and community.

Bond & Levy Overview Presentation

This video is a recording of the presentation from the Bond and Levy Information Kickoff Event that was held on November 13. It provides a high-level overview of:

• The difference between a school bond and a school levy
• What each proposed measure would fund
• Estimated costs & how our tax rates compare 

This presentation is intended to give viewers a foundational understanding of the measures before exploring additional details.
