About the Proposed 2026 Bond
The bond proposition totals $240 million and focuses on addressing aging facilities; campus expansions, renovations, and modernization; the construction of a new Hopkins Elementary School; districtwide safety and lighting enhancements; and the demolition of obsolete buildings that continue to drive up unnecessary insurance and utility costs.

Proposed projects include:
Project 1 - Torres Elementary Expansion & Asset Improvement
Project 2 - Vickers Elementary Modernization & Expansion
Project 3 - Patti Welder Modernization & Asset Improvement
Project 4 - Smith STEM Academy (56-classroom) facility
