What if the bond does not pass? The District will make short-term accommodations using money from the general fund. Delaying construction may translate into higher bond interest rates and construction costs. Continued overcrowding at each facility will create a larger student to teacher ratio. The District would be required to spend additional funds in order to call another bond election.
