ROLLA 31 UNLEASHED

News from Bulldog Nation: September 2022

Welcome Back, Bulldogs!

The year is already off to a swift start and great things are taking place all across the district. Thank you all for your assistance and cooperation with our back-to-school activities during these first three weeks. I'm sure you have noticed the projects and building upgrades taking place at some of our district sites. We are excited to see these improvements come to fruition as we build better, safer facilities for students and staff. As construction progresses, we will share more progress updates with you here and on our website under The Future of R31 tab.

I wish you all the best during the 2022-23 school year.

- Superintendent Hounsom

School Finance Q&A

Q: What funds are being used for the current construction projects around the district?


A: Construction completed or taking place at RHS, RTI, RJH, and Truman right now is funded primarily by the bond issue R31-2020 which was approved by voters in June of 2020. Bond issue money designated for capital projects can only be used for those purposes and should fulfill the intent presented in the original ballot language. This bond was passed as a 28.5 cent increase and is scheduled to be paid off in 2040.
