Learn more about Proposition S!
The District has prepared an informational video that reviews the three reasons for the bond election, and how the projects will help address enrollment challenges, provide additional student opportunities, and allow for updates at all facilities. Watch the bond video.
Video and web resources
Proposition S is the $72 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue on the April 6 ballot.

If approved, the bond issue would provide funds for a freshman center, a new performing arts center, space for career-oriented education, and facility upgrades district-wide.

Learn more about Proposition S on the District website.
