Background
Following a comprehensive Study and Survey Process, where state-certified experts evaluated existing facility conditions across all three Newport campuses, a Facilities Advisory Committee (FAC) was formed in August of 2024 to prioritize district facility needs. The committee, consisting of nearly 30 parents, community members, staff and industry professionals, spent six months exploring, analyzing and refining their recommendations. The Committee unanimously concluded that the district should place a school bond on the February 2026 ballot to address these priority projects.
