The Greenwood School District 50 Board of Trustees recently approved moving forward with the next steps in developing a proposed $165 million bond referendum that could appear on the November 2026 ballot.
During the May Board meeting, Board members voted to authorize district administration to work with the district’s bond attorney to begin crafting the official language that would appear on the referendum ballot. The district administration will also continue working with the attorney and stakeholders to finalize the list of projects to be included in the proposed referendum plan.
The proposed referendum is expected to focus on facility improvements and long-term investments to support students, staff, and the district's continued growth. Specific project details and additional information regarding the proposal will be shared with the community in the coming weeks as planning discussions continue.
Superintendent Shane Goodwin said the district remains committed to transparency and community engagement throughout the process.
“This is an important step in evaluating the future needs of our district and ensuring we continue providing safe, modern, and effective learning environments for our students and staff,” said Goodwin. “As discussions continue, we look forward to sharing additional details with our families, employees, and community stakeholders so they can remain informed throughout the process.”
The district plans to provide regular updates on the proposed referendum, including information on potential projects, timelines, and community engagement opportunities.
