It was the perception of many observers that the 1996 technology bond issue was too much, too soon – and also that the idea of bonding for items that become so rapidly obsolete was a significant part of the bond’s downfall. Which is why the following result is so surprising…

While 21.7% of respondents oppose bonding for technology items, this figure is not much larger than the percent who oppose bonding for school maintenance, 17.7%, and is not as large as the percent who oppose new school construction, 26.1%.

Bond support

There is clear preference for a multi-bond approach to funding computers and technology items for the school district. A bond for $16.3 million to fund all the district’s needs would likely fail, but a smaller $7.3 million bond this year, with $3 million to follow each of the next three years, shows encouraging support.
