District and consultant outline facility-assessment results and next steps for potential bond

District consultants and staff presented updated facility-assessment findings and steps toward a potential bond. They summarized work done since the 2020 assessment, reviewed projects completed from the 2021 bond, and explained that items previously categorized 8+ years out have shifted into a 1-5 year window, increasing near‑term needs.

Consultants said the district received 610 community survey responses and have identified priorities and cost estimates; roughly 72% of survey respondents said the 2021 bond had met expectations. Staff described engagement plans (community meetings in April and additional outreach) and said the district's financial adviser is modelling bond scenarios and constraints.

Key calendar points: staff said the Department of Treasury prequalification meeting is set for June 1, the board would be asked to approve a prequalification application and, if aligned, to adopt a resolution to call an election (target date discussed as July 13 for a potential November ballot and absentee ballots available later in the cycle). The consultants emphasized sequencing for multi‑year projects and the need to align the EPP application and budget timing.

Board members asked questions about cost estimates and sequencing; staff said more detailed budgets and the pupil‑enrollment study results will be provided before final decisions. No formal bond call or resolution was adopted at the meeting.
