Summary of Bond Expenditures

The voters of the Everman community approved 2 separate bond elections. The first was approved in 2005 for the amount of $18,000,000. The second bond election was approved in 2007 for the amount of $45,000,000. These elections were the result of proactive district leadership and involved citizens in the community.

The Everman School District grew considerably in recent years and the campus needs also grew accordingly. The district leadership solicited community involvement to help identify the needs of each campus which would provide the greatest benefit to the students and the educational process. A committee was assembled and for weeks the committee scrutinized the campuses. The committee submitted a thorough report containing immediate and long term needs of each campus. The report consisted of a list of issues ranging from minor cosmetic details to major construction projects. A recent review of this list indicated that 88% of the items on the list have been accomplished. The remaining 12% of the items were either of minor importance or have been rendered irrelevant by the successful completion of other projects. The number of completed projects far exceeded the original scope of the district’s needs. A summary and brief description of the projects completed with the bond funds follows.

Due to interest income, timely construction bidding and prudent management practices, the citizens in the Everman School District received approximately $68M of improvements with the $63M original bond proceeds.
