What if the bond does not pass?

 The District will make short-term accommodations

using money from the general fund.

 Delaying construction may translate into higher bond

interest rates and construction costs.

 Continued overcrowding at each facility will create a

larger student to teacher ratio.

 The District would be required to spend additional

funds in order to call another bond election.
