In November 2024, the proposed bond issue to construct a new school to replace West Elementary fell short of the 60% approval needed to pass.
Following that outcome, the district gathered feedback about the bond with a community survey. Among the reasons expressed by some residents about the bond was the proposed tax impact of $2.54 per $1,000 of taxable property value.
On November 4, 2025, ECSD residents will vote on a new bond referendum with a reduced tax impact of $1.59 per $1,000.
➡️ For a home worth $250,000, this would amount to an increase of approximately $15.08 per month.
➡️ Based on the average per-acre value of agricultural property in Palo Alto County, the annual tax impact would be approximately $2.06 per acre.
You can find a property tax calculator and more information about the plan to build a new elementary school and repurpose West to meet childcare needs in our community by visiting https://www.emmetsburgbond.org.

Join us tonight at 6:00pm for a town hall meeting at West Elementary School!
Attendees will have the opportunity to tour West and see the issues our students and staff face every day, and learn more about the measures on the November ballot for ECSD.
We would use these funds to build a new elementary school and reimagine West as a childcare facility. More details are available at https://www.emmetsburgbond.org.

For more than 70 years, West Elementary has been a source of pride in our community and has successfully educated generations of students. However, the age, condition, and configuration of West make it difficult for our students and staff to engage in 21st century learning.
On November 4, 2025, district residents will vote on a $25.62 million general obligation bond referendum that would support the construction of a new elementary school.
These funds would also allow the district to move forward with plans to reimagine West so it can fulfill other needs in our community. Under this proposal:
➡️The oldest portions of West would be demolished.
➡️The south addition would be repurposed as part of an agreement with the YMCA for before- and after-school care.
➡️All-day childcare would be added in the future.
➡️ECSD will maintain ownership of the campus and the gym will be used for athletics and activities.
You can learn more about the challenges at West and the solutions that are possible with an approved bond by visiting https://www.emmetsburgbond.org.
