All of the district's schools will receive repairs and upgrades, including $42,000 for an emergency generator and security key card system at the district office.

Despite the district's advertising for public input into the potential bond projects, only two parents with children at Joseph Gale Elementary showed up as did several teachers and two principals in the district.
