We Did It!

The School Board voted unanimously to adopt the bond package recommended by the Bond Development Committee, and it includes rebuilding Lake Grove Elementary on site at its current location!

The tax-neutral bond will also fund a complete rebuild of Forest Hills Elementary, and wide range of safety and security measures at all other schools across the district. Read the full recommendation here.

What now?

We need voters to pass this school bond in November to ensure this rebuild and all the great facilities upgrades happen

Why are the signs still up?

While 2024’s LRFP Feasibility Study was compelling enough to result in a recommendation that rebuilds Lake Grove on-site, this is just one step on a long journey, and a lot can change in the intervening years between consensus and build (as evidenced by the previous backing away from 2017 promises to rebuild LGE on-site). Changes in leadership, elections, local and state economies, city priorities, and more means that until Lake Grove is actually rebuilt on-site, this fight is not over. Until then, we’re asking everyone to keep your hopes up, and your signs up.

The next step is passing the bond in November! Our striking, well-placed signage can and will be repurposed during the bond campaign. Stay tuned for updates!
