Board holds off on a bond and mill levy override for the November 2026 ballot after weak poll results

What happened

At the June 10, 2026 meeting a consultant reported a poll of only 183 people in which support for a bond and a mill levy override was below 50 percent. The consultant and superintendent said a long 2026 ballot would make it hard to explain the district's needs. By consensus the board unanimously decided to hold off and instead spend time explaining the need for a new secondary school in Lochbuie. The board did not approve a designated election official or the resolutions that would have promised the charter school Cardinal Community Academy a share of a bond and override.

Why it matters to families

Voters will not decide on new school construction money this November, so the facility plan will wait for a later election.

The evidence

The June 10 minutes record the poll results, the consensus decision, and that the election official and charter notification resolutions were not acted on.
