Hillsboro Bond Would Renovate and Repair Aging Schools

One of the four main categories of need the Hillsboro Schools Bond would address is Renovation and Repair of Aging Schools. Just as it is important to do preventive maintenance on your house, it is important for HSD to maintain the investments taxpayers have already made in our buildings and systems. This bond would allow us to replace roofing, water pipes, boilers, and chillers; upgrade HVAC systems; add heat and air conditioning where needed; remodel Hilhi and Reedville; construct a satellite transportation/maintenance facility; construct lighted turf fields at three of our high schools; and more!

Wednesday, Oct. 4, is the 21st annual International Walk to School Day, an event that encourages physical activity and raises awareness about the importance of having safe routes for getting to and from schools.
