A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This is the second question for Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop Public Schools (Independent School District No. 2365), and it counts only if Question 1 is approved. It asks whether the school board may also issue general obligation school building bonds of up to $3,200,000. These are loans the district repays with interest from property taxes. The money would pay for school sites and facilities, including demolishing decommissioned school buildings. The ballot notes that a YES vote is a vote for a property tax increase. A YES vote authorizes the bonds. A NO vote means the bonds are not issued.
