Don't get spooked by our upcoming operational referendum. The district is asking voters for the authority to exceed the revenue limit in the amount of $900,000 on a recurring basis to address operational needs within the district. Our communities value excellent staff, first-rate teaching, quality curriculum, top-notch facilities, and an exceptional school district. The operational referendum will ensure we have the resources to work towards all of those goals. #TrojanPride

Why is the district going to referendum? The answers are relatively simple. Inflationary increases in operational costs far exceed the increase in state revenue the district bring in each year, creating a funding gap. Additionally, we are dealing with an aging facility that requires several capital improvement projects, which we are not able to complete within the confines of our district budget. These referendums will put the district in a position to continue providing a quality education to students for generations to come.

The second edition of our Referendum 2022 Newsletter has been released. This edition focuses specifically on the debt service referendum to complete capital improvement projects. The third edition of the newsletter will be released early this coming week. To access the newsletter, please click the link https://www.smore.com/qzvbu. #TrojanPride
At the upcoming November 8th election, the NCSD will ask voters to approve debt service in the amount of $4,500,000 to complete capital improvement projects in the district. The attached graphic shows those estimated costs. A few things to remember regarding this list. (1) We have divided the list into Tier 1 and Tier 2 projects, based on their urgency and priority of completion. The items in Tier 2 are not in any particular order. (2) The restroom updates in Tier 1 are either/or. If we build the 4 additional restrooms, we will not need to renovate the existing bathrooms. Restroom additions/renovations are needed to meet compliance for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). (3) The NCSD school board will have the final say on the scope of the projects that get completed within the $4.5 million. (4) As always, the scope of the projects is subject to change. (5) Most importantly, these are simply cost estimates from the Spring, 2022. Upon passage of the referendum, Kraemer Bros. will facilitate a competitive bidding process on all construction projects to ensure we are getting the best pricing. #TrojanPride

Later this weekend we will release the second edition, focusing on the Capital Improvement Referendum. The third edition will be released early next week summarizing both referendums.
