|
May 1-5 is Teacher Appreciation Week, so please take a moment to let teachers know how much you appreciate all they do for our students every day. It doesn't take a grand gesture - a kind word or a brief note would mean so much. Thank you, HSD teachers! You're the best!

Capital Construction Bond Update
|
 |
On Tuesday, April 25, Superintendent Scott presented a $408 million capital construction bond proposal to the School Board for their consideration. The proposal would allow the District to enhance safety and security, expand capacity, construct spaces for career-related learning, invest in technology, and much more, all while retaining the current bond rate. If approved by the Board on May 23, the bond would move forward to voters in November of this year. Learn more on the Bond page of our website.

Budget Committee Meeting is May 4
|
|
 |
The Hillsboro School District Budget Committee will meet on Thursday, May 4, at 7 p.m., in the Administration Center Board Room, 3083 NE 49th Place, to receive the Proposed Budget for 2017-18. As the Oregon legislature has not yet finalized a K-12 allocation for the 2017-19 biennium, the recommended budget is based upon an assumed allocation of $8.15 billion. At that level, HSD would need to cut approximately $7.5 million from its budget in 2017-18. If the allocation is lower than $8.15 billion, cuts would be deeper. Your voice is needed! Please contact our elected officials to advocate for additional K-12 funding and revenue reform.
