2007-08 Report
Our process ..
August 2005: Board heard a report regarding the state of the facilities and agreed to form the citizen Facilities Task Force.
February 2007: The Facilities Task Force reported to the Board about deferred maintenance, educational specifications, and enrollment growth.
June 2007: The Board heard the results of the community poll and agreed to have staff develop detailed information on deferred maintenance and growth.
Our process..(continued)
August 2007: The Board received information on school capacity and overcrowding related to new growth and class size reductions. October November 2007: Staff conducted a two-part formal evaluation of schools and consulted with professional architects and engineers to determine needs around maintenance and growth. January 2008: The Board heard the report on the findings.
January February 2008: Staff and community meetings were held across the district to share the information and gather feedback.
How we got here..
Previous bond measures focused more on new schools to accommodate student growth. Budget shortfalls in the past resulted in significant cuts to maintenance, custodial, technology, and other support departments. Given the size of our District our regular maintenance budget is inadequate to meet all of our needs.
What we heard..
We received over 500 comment cards and categorized them into the following: Issues critical enough to add to our bond list. Building improvement suggestions. Issues to be addressed through our work order system. Based on the feedback, we have added HVAC, water pipe and window replacement, parking lot, plumbing, electrical, and floor coverings projects. We have developed a plan to share this information with staff.
Our needs..
This is not a recommendation. It is a report to the Board and Community of our needs. The next steps in the process will be to gather feedback. The Board will, after the feedback, determine what to ask the voters to support.

A Reminder ..
This is not a recommendation. It is a report to the Board and Community of our needs. The next steps in the process will be to gather feedback. The Board will, after the feedback, determine what to ask the voters to support. The amount of funding necessary to address the needs we have identified equals: $527,582,900
Costs to the taxpayer ..
Until the School Board determines the final projects, we wont know the actual impact. However, here are some examples of the cost per $1,000 of the value of a home in Salem-Keizer.** $200 million dollar bond = $1.01 $400 million dollar bond =$2.03 $600 million dollar bond = $3.00
** Based on a 20 year issue.
Next Steps
March and early April: For the School Board, gather input on the Ballot Title and dollar amount for bond. April 8: School Board takes action on Ballot Title and dollar amount for bond.
