FAQ
What is a school bond election?
A bond election is a vehicle to raise funds to build and maintain school facilities and associated infrastructure. A successful bond election grants school leaders permission to sell bonds to investors, which generates the funding for construction. Investors are paid interest over the life of the investment.
Public schools rely on the support of local taxpayers to fund the operations and facilities of the school district.
Similar to homeowners borrowing money in the form of a mortgage, a school district borrows to finance the design, construction, expansion, and renovations of schools and facilities.
Voters must approve these funds through a bond election.
