The Hamilton Middle School bond proposal, totaling $49 million, is set to be on the May 6 ballot. The proposal aims to renovate the nearly hundred-year-old facility and construct a new middle school at the Westview property. The community already voted in November to give the board the authority to sell the current Hamilton Middle School property for construction funds. If the bond passes, property taxes would increase, but it would cost less than a previously rejected $71 million bond proposal.
The current middle school building faces challenges such as lack of natural light, thin walls, musty air, and a concrete playground leading to injuries. The proposed bond would create a safer and more appropriate learning environment for students. The district is working to dispel myths and misunderstandings from past bond issues in the ’90s, ensuring that the new leadership is committed to student safety and success. The proposed renovation and construction timeline would be completed by the fall of the 2027-28 school year. The community has the opportunity to provide feedback and support the much-needed upgrades to the Hamilton Middle School facilities.
