Questions & Answers
Questions about the bond as it pertains to Edgewood?
Please submit your questions via this form.
What is the 2026 Capital Projects Bond?
Every 10-15 years, the Board of Education proposes a Capital Projects Bond to fund large, long-term projects (e.g. the Greenacres expansion) not covered by the District's annual budget. A bond is essentially a loan, with the debt service included in the community's annual property taxes. This bond will be put forward to a community-wide vote in Q1/Q2 2026. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to address Edgewood's needs and improve its learning environment. The next bond cycle will not be until 2035/2036.
How will it affect me?
If approved, the bond will impact your child's (or grandchild's) learning environment, your property value, and your property taxes.
Where are we in the process?
It's not too late; the Board of Education has not finalized the bond. Community input and advocacy matter as they deliberate—they're asking for your input now.
How does the Board determine what projects are covered by the proposed Bond?
Based on recommendations from District administration, building leadership, facilities assessments, enrollment projections, and your input.
The current proposal is $96M across all seven schools. This total is subject to Board determination and can increase or decrease.
Edgewood's current proposal ($10.6M) includes A/C for the gym and multi-purpose rooms, facilities maintenance priorities, cosmetic upgrades to classrooms, and a new 300-square-foot storage room.
What's not included?
No new learning or educational support services spaces. See our one-page overview for more information.
