Building Opportunities - Urbandale CSD 2018 Bond Referendum Community Forum
The Urbandale Community School District will host a Community Forum on Monday, December 4, 2017, at 6:30pm in the Media Center at Urbandale High School.
The intent of this forum is to educate residents about the upcoming Bond Referendum Vote on February 6, 2018.
The proposed plan aligns with the strongest life cycle, educational adequacy, and cost-benefit ratio quantitative results, as well as supports the preferences shared by attendees of community facility planning meetings in the spring of 2017. The $59M Bond Referendum would provide funds to build two new elementary schools, build an addition to Webster Elementary or UHS as needed for enrollment growth, and accelerate the timeline for building a new high school fitness center. The plan optimizes school resources, creates equity throughout the district, enhances technology and security, and provides greater 21st century spaces and learning opportunities for all K-12 students.
