"I think most people are surprised when they hear that the average age of Blue Valley buildings is 29 years... If you have owned a home, you've probably had to replace a roof or an air conditioner... This bond helps us do that." Jake Slobodnik, Executive Director of Operations.
Projects included in the 2023 bond election would invest in facilities, safety and technology. In the first of three 15-minute podcasts about Bond 2023, we break down the bond, how bonds work and how students and staff would benefit from facilities projects included in the bond.

Middle school is a transition period for kids as they learn more about themselves, take on more responsibility and become more exposed to technology.
“Communication is increasingly common and important to maintain connections, but as middle schoolers, I don’t feel like they always know the correct and appropriate ways to go about communicating with one another,” said Nicole Orrick, Overland Trail Middle assistant principal.
Blue Valley middle schools have always taught digital citizenship but this year the lessons are consistent in all middle schools. Overland Trail Middle will implement the lessons during students’ flex class.
Topics include balance and well-being, privacy and security, digital footprint and identity, relationships and communication, cyberbullying, digital drama and hate speech, and news and media literacy.
Learn more about digital citizenship in Blue Valley middle schools in this week's Learning Connection article.
