CCSD Mill & Bond Presentation

If you missed last week’s Mill and Bond Presentation at Liberty Middle School, watch this video presentation (https://www.cherrycreekschools.org/Page/15613) for more information. Learn more about the proposed investments across the Grandview feeder using this link. (https://cherrycreekschooldistrict.info/?region=grandview)

To recap, on August 12th, the CCSD Board of Education voted unanimously to put a mill and bond measure on the November 5, 2024 ballot for CCSD residents. The proposal includes investments in safety and security, teachers, innovation and career training, student health, technology, and major construction and maintenance projects at schools across the district. For both measures, residents would pay less than $3 a month for each $100,000 of property value.

To provide factual information about the two measures and hear from our community, the district is hosting several presentations. Please see the following information about upcoming presentations:

When: September 11 | 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
