Board and supporters coordinate outreach for proposed bond; request FAQs, blueprints and engineer letter
Summary
Board members and local supporters agreed to a coordinated outreach plan ahead of the August bond vote, asking district staff for clear FAQs, cost breakdowns and an engineer letter explaining why 1970s buildings cannot be reused.
Board members and a local advocacy group working on the proposed bond campaign discussed outreach and communications to address misinformation and answer voters' questions.
Community organizers asked district staff to produce consistent, shareable materials — a one‑page flyer, an FAQ/Q&A, and a short presentation showing phasing and the instructional spaces prioritized first. They also requested a letter from the structural engineer documenting why older 1970s buildings cannot be reused.
Why it matters: organizers said the previous campaign suffered from inconsistent messaging and social‑media misinformation. The group asked for specific cost and square‑footage figures to compare past projects and to show that the proposed work is focused on instructional spaces rather than nonessential amenities.
Planned tactics and timeline: the group discussed targeted Facebook ads, town halls and door‑knocking and set an initial community event for June 18 at 6 p.m. District staff and board members agreed to coordinate calendars and share vetted content so public posts are consistent.
Next steps: staff will share the district's one‑page flyer, updated FAQ and a proposed PowerPoint so community partners can align messaging. The outreach effort will coordinate event dates and identify spokespeople for technical topics (engineering, construction and finance).
