Why does the Osborn School District Need a Bond and/or an Override?
Bond. While Osborn has worked diligently to perform routine maintenance on all buildings and systems, age and wear eventually necessitate repair, renovation and replacement. Funding received from the State is inadequate to meet the District’s capital project needs. Without bond funds, the district will not be able to maintain and upkeep existing buildings or construct new facilities, while also meeting the future need of students and the standards our community has come to expect.
District Additional Assistance Override. Osborn School District’s current District Additional Assistance Override was authorized by voters in 2017. Approval at the November 7, 2023 election will renew the existing capital override. The funds from the District Additional Assistance budget override are used to make sure that our teachers and students have the technological and curriculum support they need for high quality teaching and learning.
