Welcome to the Scappoose School Bond web site created to help you understand the details of, and need for, a YES vote on Ballot Measure 5-188. It will...
| Reduce operating costs. Measure 5-188 will mean dramatic improvements in energy efficiency, safety and security for Scappoose Schools. It will also replace Petersen Elementary, an extremely inefficient building, with a new energy-efficient building on property the District already owns. District resources should be used for student learning, not paying for wasted energy! The District anticipates $100,000 savings per year because of these upgrades. |

Accommodate growth. Scappoose grew by 64% between 1990 and 2005, and will continue to grow. Measure 5-188 will build new classrooms with technology needed for today’s learning. Scappoose High School will get much needed instructional space along with a multi-use auditorium that will be shared with the whole community. It also expands the capacity of every school to use new technology for 21st century learning. Every new property owner will help pay for Measure 5-188!
Protect your investment. High quality schools are the foundation of a strong local economy and help to attract good jobs and investments. They are the backbone of healthy neighborhoods and strong, stable property values. Even if you don’t have (grand)children in the Scappoose Schools, you will benefit from this measure - and now is the time. We get less for our money with every year we delay. The last comprehensive school bond passed nearly 40 years ago. We wouldn’t let our homes and other properties go this long without critical repairs!
The homework is done. This bond is based on solid research including a demographics study, a professional assessment of our buildings, months of community input through a long-range planning process involving at least 50 community members, and a phone survey of hundreds of District residents. Measure 5-188 reflects our community’s priorities and the facts about our District’s facilities needs.
This bond makes sense for our community - educationally, economically, and environmentally. VOTE YES on Measure 5-188!
