Brookings-Harbor Board outlines voter outreach: mailers, school events and tax-estimator tool before Feb. 27 filing
Summary
Board members discussed outreach channels for the upcoming bond, including a timed mailer with ballot delivery, in-person Q&A sessions, presence at Dr. Seuss Night (March 5), and a tax estimator tool on a stand-alone bond webpage; staff said all materials must be publicly archived.
Board members on Jan. 21 sketched practical outreach tactics to accompany the district’s bond filing plan. They discussed timing a mailer to coincide with ballot delivery, stationing a table at school events and community nights, and placing informational outreach near high-traffic retail locations if permitted (Board Member Alan Nidiffer said he would contact Fred Meyer about protocol).
Staff described a proposed stand-alone bond webpage with a robust FAQ, explainer videos and an optional tax estimator tool to help voters understand individualized impacts. The superintendent reminded members that, as a public entity, materials and recorded informational sessions must be publicly accessible and archived; staff communications will face more restrictions once the measure is on the ballot. The board agreed to identify dates for public question-and-answer sessions prior to the filing deadline.
