Richland School District Two bond referendum nights

Richland School District Two is inviting the community and media to learn more about the bond referendum at several upcoming information sessions.

·         September 24, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. at Forest Lake Presbyterian Church, located at 6500 N Trenholm Rd., 29206

·         October 2, 2018 at 6 p.m. at Forest Lake Elementary, located at 6801 Brookfield Road, 29206

·         October 8, 2018 at 6 p.m. at Westwood High School, located at 180 Turkey Farm Road, 29016

Voters will see two bond referendum questions asking to issue bonds not to exceed $468,406,000 on the November 6 ballot. The money would fund projects to include safety/security improvements at schools and for buses, improvements to academic learning spaces, additions and improvements to arts/athletic facilities and technology infrastructure improvements.

The questions grow out of the work of many district partners — employees, parents and community members — who have spent a great deal of time researching, reviewing data and giving feedback on facility needs across the district. Using this data, the district has developed a funding plan that addresses safety and security facility needs and updates older facilities to support 21st century teaching and learning in every school.
