Why not just fix West? 🤔 It's a fair question, and the School Board has studied all the options.
Repairing or retrofitting West would still require a bond, but it would mean spending millions on a 1950s building on a 3.6-acre site, without solving the other issues.
💛 Fiscal Responsible
Every option costs something. The question is which one gives the most value for each dollar. This plan:
• SAVE sales tax revenue, so less is paid for by property taxes
• Starts from zero existing bond debt, because the district paid off its last bond early
• Comes with the lowest rate of the three proposals, $2.70 per $1,000
• Is capped by the ballot at $25M
🖤 Planning for future generations of E-Hawks
This isn't a patch or a short-term fix. When approved, the new building would be owned by the district and is designed for long-term use by future E-Hawks. The 18.9-acre site north of the college includes room for future expansion, compared with 3.6 acres at the current West site.
🗳️What is your plan to vote?
✅ Early in-person: Palo Alto County Auditor's Office, 1010 Broadway St., weekdays 8 a.m.– 4 p.m. through Monday, Nov. 2, and tomorrow, Saturday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
✅ Election Day: Tuesday, Nov. 3. The polling locations are option from 7 a.m.– 8 p.m.
✅ Mailed ballots must arrive before polls close on Nov. 3
✅ Bring a valid photo ID.
✅ Flip the ballot over as our bond referendum is on the back.

After the last two bond votes, the district went back to the community, and every change in the 2026 elementary school proposal traces back to what you told us:
📍 "The site doesn't work." → A purchase agreement on a new site: a property north of the college
📉 "It costs too much." → A lower tax rate: $2.70 per $1,000, down from $4.05 and $3.25
💵 "Use the money you already have." → SAVE sales tax revenue applied to reduce what's financed by property taxes
🏫 "Don't waste the West building." → The district keeps the gym, offices and commons, and adds childcare space
