These are loans the district repays with interest from property taxes. The question counts only if School District Question 1 is approved. The money would pay for school sites and facilities, including renovating the Sandburg Middle School pool area into a performing arts space, renovating Plymouth Middle School for Spanish Immersion and other programs, building playgrounds there, and renovating Armstrong High School to house a middle school for 1,100 students.
