Board told of process and timeline if district pursues a bond; staff to return with details
Summary
Shaw outlined the steps to place a bond on the ballot — PFM work, Treasury review, call for vote by mid‑April — and said staff aims for an August 2026 ballot if the board pursues that schedule; board members asked for more time if economic conditions are poor.
Superintendent Shaw walked the board through the procedural timeline for placing a bond before voters: conduct surveys and community outreach, finalize scope with PFM and construction partners, submit materials to the state Treasury for review (January/February), and call for a vote by the mid‑April deadline if the board proceeds. Shaw noted an August 2026 ballot was under consideration but reiterated the board could delay if economic conditions made passage unlikely.
Board members requested clearer project lists, cost breakdowns and a strategy for stacking ballot items (fire, police, college millages) because concurrent requests can affect voter appetite. Shaw said staff will return in July with refined materials and that the board should submit questions to Jamie in the interim.
