Superintendent's office and trustees urged residents to vote the next day (7 a.m.'9 p.m.) on a $90,500,000 capital project that the district presented as two propositions on a single ballot.

According to the presentation, Proposition 1 ($55,200,000) covers additions at Glendale, Heritage and Maplemere, priority maintenance items, and renovation work including libraries and playgrounds; the board described Proposition 1 as structured to be tax-neutral due to debt scheduling and state aid. Proposition 2 ($35,300,000) would fund renovations to every existing elementary classroom (flooring, lighting, walls), gym upgrades, corridor improvements and athletic facility upgrades including turf replacement and a ticket booth. The superintendent said Proposition 2 carries a tax impact of $64 for the owner of an average $250,000 home.

Board members emphasized the maintenance needs underpinning the request, citing an $11,000,000 roof replacement at the middle school and other end'of'life systems (boilers, HVAC) that require attention whether or not the propositions pass. The superintendent said the district structured the project to maximize state aid, stating that roughly 85% of the project is aidable and that the state aid rate for aidable work is $0.63 on the dollar; trustees said this is a key justification for the two'proposition approach.

Community members and board trustees urged turnout and noted the district had used multiple outreach channels (mail, email, phone, video and local media) to inform voters. A public commenter, Jonathan Makeley, spoke during open session to encourage neighbors to vote, citing the long'term cost benefits of proactive maintenance.

The district did not hold a vote on the propositions at this meeting; the referendum was scheduled for the following day at district polling locations. The board also noted forums and materials on the district website for voters seeking details.
