The Gladstone School District is proposing a $70 million general obligation bond to update and maintain educational facilities for students and staff. The district would receive a $6 million matching grant from the state of Oregon only if the measure is passed by voters.
Background
In 2006, voters passed a general obligation bond that funded critical repairs, the renovation of the Center for Children and Families, and the construction of Career and Technical Education facilities at Gladstone High School. That bond is set to expire in 2027. A comprehensive facilities assessment and community engagement sessions have identified facility needs.
Safety and Security: Update security systems and renovate entryways to create controlled and secure access.
Roofing: Repair and replace roofs to prevent water intrusion.
ADA Compliance: Update facilities to meet current accessibility standards.
HVAC Systems: Replace boilers and update heating, ventilation, and air conditioning for upgraded climate control.
Fire Life Safety: Install fire safety panels that meet current safety codes.
Structural and Seismic: Reinforce structures to withstand seismic events.
Plumbing: Update plumbing systems to prevent leaks and improve water quality.
Athletic Facilities: Update athletic and physical education spaces.
Electrical Systems: Upgrade electrical infrastructure to accommodate current educational technology.
Remove deteriorating portable buildings.
Classroom Furniture: Replace outdated or damaged furniture.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program: Renovate CTE classrooms
Approving this bond will enable the Gladstone School District to address critical facility needs, enhance educational opportunities, and ensure a safe and conducive learning environment for all students. The proposed projects are designed to maintain and update schools.
