Long Range Planning & Bond Issue
Ray-Pec voters on April 5 will consider a $27 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue to address space needs throughout the District. The plan includes constructing an addition onto the south high school to accommodate all students in grades 9-12 in one school.
The Board on Dec. 17 unanimously approved placing the bond issue on the ballot. The general obligation bond issue is necessary to fund the improvements outlined in the District's Long Range Facility Plan. In introducing the measure, Superintendent Dr. Kari Monsees emphasized that the bond issue will not require an increase in the tax levy.
In addition to the high school expansion, other elements of the plan include:
- North high school building becomes second middle school
- Modifications to Bridle Ridge and Eagle Glen to serve grades K-5
- Convert Shull Elementary into an Early Childhood Center
- Maintenance projects throughout the District
The plan includes the most aggressive timeline possible to resolve the two-building high school situation.
Cold Weather & Recess Safety Guidelines
As the weather continues to cool down, please direct your child to dress in clothing designed for cold temperatures and to bring a coat, hat and gloves to school daily.
Shull's Recess Rules:
- Play, have fun and be kind
- Keep hands and feet safe
- Use school appropriate words
- Tackling, "play" fighting that includes touch, or aggressive tagging is not permitted
- A student's recess can be restricted or eliminated if the student has shown he/she struggles to stay safe
If a child uses maliciously hurtful behavior (actions or words), consequences will occur as outlined in the Student Discipline section of the Parent/Student Handbook.
