In response to community feedback, the School Board voted December 12 to revise its November bond proposal to focus on the district’s most immediate needs. The updated bond measure totals $231.6 million, which is a 63% reduction from the November measure.

The bond will focus on safety and security for all schools, and the expansion of Liberty High School and the building of a new high school - both are which are aimed to address overcrowding in our district. The new proposal will appear on the February 11 Special Election Ballot. If you would like more information, you can find that HERE.

If you are eligible to vote, and have not yet registered, you can find more information about registering HERE.
