McDermott outlines bond for three middle schools, urges voters to cast ballots by May 12
Summary
Ms. McDermott described a bond proposal to expand classrooms, gym space, specialist and special-education rooms, cafeterias and administrative offices across three middle schools and reminded the public to vote by May 12. Parking improvements were also mentioned.
Ms. McDermott said the bond would fund improvements at three middle schools, including new classroom additions and gymnasium space, and urged voters to act before the May 12 deadline.
"Our bond is for our three middle schools, being able to build classroom additions and gymnasium space, remodel existing spaces to expand and improve on our small classrooms," Ms. McDermott said, listing the projects the bond would support. She identified specialist learning areas — STEM, band, choir, family and consumer science, visual and media art spaces — and said the package would expand special-education classrooms and flexible small-group learning spaces.
Ms. McDermott also said the bond would be used to expand kitchen and cafeteria areas and add onto administrative offices. After she mentioned parking improvements, a meeting participant responded, "Oh yeah, that's a big one," underscoring that parking was a point of interest for those in attendance.
Ms. McDermott closed the explanation with a reminder to the public: "Don't forget to vote on or before May 12th." The transcript does not specify funding amounts, the ballot measure number, or which governing body placed the bond on the ballot.
No formal vote or outcome on the bond measure is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; the next step noted in the discussion was the reminder of the public voting deadline.
