Vote Yes for Our Kids and Our Schools!
This bond, developed with extensive community input, will relieve overcrowding in our schools without raising anyone’s property tax rate. The bond will build two new elementary schools and add 20 additional classrooms to reduce overcrowding. Your yes vote will improve safety for Kent School district students, families and staff by renovating roofs, upgrading heating and ventilation systems, providing new fire alarm systems, upgrading parking lots and improving student drop-off zones. The project list for the bond was developed over multiple years with input provided by community members and staff from each school. The Kent School District Board of Directors prioritized recommendations from the citizen-led task force by balancing projects across the district, ensuring each and every school receives needed upgrades, and making certain that the current voter approved tax rate Does Not increase.
Your yes vote will approve funds to renovate ten school athletic facilities, provide nine new multipurpose rooms, and one performing arts center.
The 2016 Bond reduces overcrowding and provides the funding needed for projects at Every school without raising our tax rate. Please join your neighbors and vote Yes for our kids and schools by November 8th.
