The Cedar Rapids Community School District has been strategically addressing facility needs at the elementary level for the past 5 years using local option sales tax dollars and PPEL funds. To take the next step, which will focus on middle school and high schools, the district is asking for a $220 Million GO Bond in the November 2023 election. The bond vote must be approved by a 60% majority of eligible voters in the district.
Bond Community Information Sessions
The district is planning to hold several bond information sessions for the community leading up to election day on November 7th. District staff are encouraged to attend. At the meeting, district officials will provide an overview of the bond, the projects included under the bond, the financial impacts on residents, and more. There will also be time to answer questions from the public.
