THOUGHTEXCHANGE - FEBRUARY 2024 BOND

The Spokane Public Schools Board of Directors is considering two options for a February 2024 school bond put before voters to ensure our schools remain safe, modern and ready for growth.

Spokane Public Schools has developed a ThoughtExchange survey for staff, parents and residents of the school district to provide input and help determine which projects should be prioritized for the 2024 bond. The ThoughtExchange survey is open until Sept. 22.

Both options are for a $200 million bond, significantly less than the $500 million bond passed by voters in 2018. Given increased assessed property values, SPS is developing a bond that will minimize the impact on property taxes for schools.

Both options continue the district's approach to modernizing or replacing a few old schools while making smaller improvements to keep all schools well maintained and updated with the latest security and technology.

Please participate in the ThoughtExchange survey by Sept. 22. Your input is extremely valuable as the SPS Board of Directors determines how to build a safe, modern and healthy future for Spokane Public Schools and our entire community.

"WE ARE" FEEDER PATTERN COMMUNITY NIGHT

Our 2nd Annual "We Are" Feeder Pattern Community Night where all schools within the Shadle Park Feeder Pattern come together is this Wednesday at 5:30pm at Shadle Park HS! We can't wait to see our community there!
