What this document actually says
This resolution formally calls for a November 3, 2026 election asking voters to approve $115 million in general obligation bonds for school facilities. The bonds require 55% voter approval under Proposition 39. Funds would be used for classroom repairs, accessibility improvements for students with disabilities, heating/cooling system replacements, safety and security upgrades (cameras, alarms, fencing), flooring, lighting, and window replacements. The resolution establishes required accountability measures including annual independent audits, a Citizens' Oversight Committee, and prohibits using bond money for teacher salaries or operating expenses. The tax rate will not exceed Proposition 39 limits per $100,000 of assessed property value.
What this means for your family
If approved by voters, this bond would fund facility improvements at Reed Union schools including safer campuses, updated classrooms, better temperature control, and accessibility upgrades. Property owners would see increased property taxes to repay the bonds. The improvements aim to provide better learning environments but would not fund teacher salaries, programs, or day-to-day operations. Families will vote on this measure in November 2026.
