About the Bond

Thank you Union County!

 

On Nov. 8, 2016, Union County voters approved $54 million for school bonds. The referendum passed with 70.69 percent of votes. The $54 million will provide funding for seven projects—a new transportation facility, classroom additions and safety repairs.

 

This website will serve as a resource for monitoring the bond projects. We will update this site with information about the design and construction phases, timelines, Project Advisory Team meetings and other important information.

 

Update: In 2017, the Board of Education voted to adjust the scope of the seven bond projects. This decision was made due to changes in cost from initial or early bid estimates and an updated school capacity study completed by Dr. Jerome McKibben and Mr. Matthew Cropper. Although individual bond project budgets have changed, the total bond budget remains at approximately $54 million, which is what was approved by the voters in 2016.

Union County voters approved school  bonds in 2000, 2004 and 2006. The funds provided new construction, renovations and additions at facilities across the county. In addition, past bond dollars were used to address safety upgrades and football stadium improvements.
