That's why we are asking our community to invest in the future of our students and our schools. While the school district receives local, state and federal funding for operations, grants and instructional programs, it cannot use these funds for the "bricks and mortar." Only money raised by GO Bonds can be used to build buildings, remodel, additions, furnish schools, and improve school grounds.
