The district has a high percent of retirees and very little
commerical development so the district property tax burden
falls primarily on residents (many of whom are on a fixed
income). Despite having urgent repair and renovation needs
in its schools, the district has not passed a bond measure
for schools in more than 10 years.
Currently, the district would desperatedly like to replace
its shared science building, which has serious health and
safety needs. The elementary and middle schools have defunct
heating systems that need to be replaced. The walls are
cracked and crumbling and the entire campus (all buildings)
is located on an old river bed. As a result, the buildings
flood periodically in the spring. The district's administrative
building -- a 25-30-year-old "temporary" structure--is
infested with mice and has significant mold contamination,
both issues that pose serious health threats to district
employees.
