What this document actually says
This September 2025 presentation asks the school board to approve parameters for a community survey about a potential bond measure. The district proposes testing a $115 million bond authorization with a maximum tax rate of $30 per $100,000 of assessed value. The bonds would fund capital projects over six years, with an estimated end date of 2061. Reed currently has two existing bonds (Measure C from 2001 and Measure A from 2005) with a combined 2024-25 tax rate of $22.90. The district's property tax base has grown an average of 5.35% annually since 2003 to approximately $12.8 billion. Recent neighboring district bonds passed with similar tax rates between $18-$30 per $100,000.
What this means for your family
If approved by voters, this bond would increase property taxes to fund school facility improvements and repairs. For a home assessed at the district median of $2.14 million, the maximum tax would be about $643 annually. The bond would allow the district to make capital improvements to school buildings and facilities over the next six years.
