FAQs
What is a School Bond?
A school bond is similar to a home mortgage. It allows the district to borrow money for major construction and improvements, then repay it over time. Bonds cannot be used for salaries or daily operating expenses.
How will these bonds affect my taxes?
The estimated property tax impact is minimal. For the average homeowner, the cost is just a few dollars per month — an investment that directly benefits local students and the Casa Grande community.
Why are these bonds needed now?
Many of our schools were built decades ago. Systems like HVAC, roofing, and technology are outdated and increasingly expensive to repair. Bonds provide a responsible way to modernize and protect these facilities.
How will the bond funds be spent?
Every dollar is dedicated to capital improvements: safety and security upgrades, classroom technology, repairs, energy efficiency, and community-use spaces. Independent audits and public reporting ensure accountability.
Can bond funds be used for salaries or administrative costs?
No. By law, bond dollars cannot pay for teacher or staff salaries, benefits, or daily operating costs. They are strictly for buildings, facilities, and equipment.
