Zero-Increase Bond: May 5, 2026

This proposal will NOT raise taxes.

The current bonded debt carried by GBCS is 6.3 mills. This proposal seeks to extend that 6.3 mills for the next 6 years, in order to continue to generate revenue for special projects as outlined in the 2023-2028 Strategic Plan.

Some of these projects include: 

FOCUS 1: PERRY REMODEL/EARLY CHILDHOOD EXPANSION

• Early Childhood Center on Perry first floor with southern expansion
• Third floor remodel/central office relocation (curriculum, personnel, business, technology & Superintendent’s Office)
• Demo portions of building to allow for restoration & expansion project
• Robotics/STEAM Renovation - scale out virtual/hybrid into other buildings 

FOCUS 2: SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS

• High School East Campus Entrance Remodel
• Modular Building Removals at elementary buildings
• Myers/Cook Elementary Classroom Additions

FOCUS 3: ARTS IMPROVEMENTS

• Performing Arts Center addition at GBHS
• ‘Black Box’ classroom
• Fine arts gallery
• Set construction & dressing room space

FOCUS 4: TECHNOLOGY FUNDING

The GBCS Technology Bond of 2015 that has supported our Technology program in recent years has ended. To continue our 1:1 program for grades K-12 (K-2 stay in the classroom) and keep our network and wi-fi up to date, we would use bond money to fund the district's technology needs for the life of the bond.
