Hillsboro board previewed $430 million bond materials and members organize supporting PAC
Summary
District staff demonstrated a public bond dashboard for the proposed $430 million 2026 capital construction bond; a board member announced a co-chaired political action committee to support passage and plans to submit measure arguments for the November 3 ballot.
Beth, a district staff presenter, walked board members through the district’s bond outreach materials and an interactive bond dashboard during the June 16 meeting, showing how the public can view the full $430 million capital construction package by school, project type and timeline.
Beth demonstrated three ways to reach the bond site (hillsbor-bond.org, bond.hs.k12.org and the district bond page), pointed to FAQ content in English and Spanish, and said the site includes an “All Schools” PDF as well as a dashboard that lets users slice the package by theater group, project type and anticipated timing. Board materials direct people to the 2026 capital construction bonds section for the current proposal.
During follow-up remarks, board member Katie said she and former board chair Erica Lopez will co-chair a political action committee to support the bond, described summer volunteer recruitment and fundraising plans, and said the PAC will prepare voters’ pamphlet measure arguments for the November 3 election. Katie characterized the PAC’s role as providing overt advocacy while district employees remain factual in official communications.
Board members praised the website and dashboard as useful public-facing tools for consistent messaging, and staff noted the 2017 bond recap and related materials remain online for public review.
No formal bond action was taken at the meeting; the discussion focused on outreach tools, bilingual FAQs and PAC planning ahead of November.
