What happened

On March 3, 2026, the board approved a building plan tied to the bond. It calls for a new PreK-5 school, turning Delta Elementary into a grades 6-8 middle school, and turning Morehouse Elementary into an alternative school and career center.

Why it matters to families

If paid for, the plan would change which school many children attend and what each building is used for. It also lists foundation repairs at three schools. Voters rejected the bond in June 2026, so the plan is waiting on a new vote.

The evidence

March 3, 2026 minutes include the Capital Improvement Plan exhibit listing each school's projects and record the board's vote to adopt it.
