CRCSD volunteers to gather signatures for school bond at June 7 downtown farmers market
Summary
Cedar Rapids Community School District announced staff and volunteers will collect signatures for a school bond petition at the downtown farmers market on June 7; the outreach is described as “an important step in investing in our school's future.”
Cedar Rapids Community School District volunteers will collect signatures for a school bond petition at the downtown farmers market on Saturday, June 7, from 7:30 a.m. to noon at the corner of Second Avenue and Third Street near the U.S. Bank building, the district said on its Future Ready Today podcast. "You'll see CRCSD volunteers out gathering signatures for the school bond petition, an important step in investing in our school's future," the podcast said.
The announcement asked market visitors to stop by the CRCSD booth, pick up a free balloon in high-school colors and, if they support the measure, sign the petition. The podcast presented the activity as outreach by district volunteers; it did not describe the bond's size, ballot language or timeline for placement before voters.
The farmers market appearance is described in the podcast as part of the district’s summer outreach and community-visibility efforts. The announcement did not state whether signature collection will be managed by district staff, a campaign committee or a separate citizens’ group, nor did it specify rules for signature validity or a final deadline for filing petition sheets.
For more information, the podcast directed listeners to CRCSD’s website and to visit the farmers market booth on June 7.
