Projects
The Bond Development Committee collaborated with leadership and architectural experts to form a $22.695 million bond package to:
Address Health, Safety and Security: $2.8 Million
If the proposed measure passes, North Bend School District would repair or replace locks, front entries, and security systems. If passed, access points and entryways would be renovated.
The proposed bond measure would include proposed health, safety, and security projects for all North Bend School District schools. If passed, the proposed measure would fund removal of asbestos and address air quality with new heating and ventilation systems.
Repair & Update Aging School Buildings: $12 Million
The average age of a school in the North Bend School District is 59 years. Some schools are over 70 years old that have aging electrical, heating, lighting and cooling systems.
If passed, the proposed bond measure would fund new HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical systems to help reduce costs and provide district-wide energy efficiencies. The proposed bond measure, if passed, would fund new roofs and windows at some schools.
Expand Hands On Learning & Student Career Pathways: $7.9 Million
Education is changing. Students are now able to seek a variety of college and career pathways through the addition of vocational programs and job training programs.
If passed, the proposed bond measure would expand vocational programs such as culinary, health services, metalworking, construction and graphic arts. If passed, the bond would fund the renovation of the multipurpose room at North Bend High School into a performing arts space to expand programs such as choir, theater, and music.

Proposed Bond Cost
The district estimates that the proposed $22.69 million bond, if passed, would maintain the current tax rate that property owners in the North Bend School District are currently paying.
In addition, the State of Oregon has awarded the North Bend School District a matching funds grant of $4 million to help fund bond projects. The District would only receive the grant if the proposed bond measure passes.
An independent, citizen-led Bond Oversight Committee will be established to oversee the use of bond funds if the bond passes.
If the proposed bond measure does not pass, the proposed projects would not be completed and the current tax rate would sunset as of June 15, 2022.
