The Battle Ground Public Schools Board of Directors approved a resolution to put a construction bond before voters on the Feb. 13, 2018 ballot. This bond will provide full replacements for four district schools, improve safety and security on every campus, and modernize classrooms for science, technology, and skilled jobs training.
Important Notes:
-
Projects are designed to take full advantage of $61.6 million in state matching funds.
-
By building now, the district can take advantage of historically low interest rates which will make tax dollars go further.
-
Total schools tax rate is expected to be less in 2019 than it is in 2017. Read More
