The Weld RE-4 School District Board of Education will vote in August on including a $271 million bond package on a ballot for voters in November.
The board made the decision during a June 24 work session after receiving recommendations from the district's bond steering committee and taking in presentations on the results of the bond survey at its June 20 work session.
The bond measure currently includes: two new elementary schools — in the RainDance Peakview neighborhoods of Windsor; a new 900-capacity Windsor Middle School on 40 acres purchased from the town off 15th Street in Windsor; additions at Severance Middle and High schools; a new CTE Center (career and technical education) at Severance High; an expansion at Windsor Charter Academy and repairs and replacements for existing buildings.
This will be the second bond measure package pursued by the district in two years.
Last year, a $179 million measure failed to pass by fewer than 500 votes, a result many in the Windsor and Severance communities attributed to division over the school district's mask mandate. A $3 million mill levy override measure — to fund operational expenses such as in-building needs — failed by 836 votes last fall.
The board will vote on the bond measure during its August meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. Aug. 15 at the administration building on Main Street in Windsor. The board will hold a work session at 5:30 p.m. at the same location.
