FEB. 14th - ELECTION: WHAT COULD HAPPEN?

The outcome of this election will affect:

  • SAFETY/SECURITY at Canyon Ridge, the Middle Schools, and every school!
  • HVAC - heat & air improvements
  • CLASS-SIZES!

WHAT COULD HAPPEN?
  • PREVIOUS BOND ELECTION - The majority OF VOTERS voted to PASS the last bond election, HOWEVER, not by 60% so the bond did not pass.
  • The outcome of this election will directly affect your child.
  • Every vote will matter.

This bond election will greatly affected class-sizes, student safety & more. State funds cannot be used to build buildings or for most building improvements. Safety & security of buildings need to be continually assessed and updated to protect every child & staff member.
