On April 7, voters in the Bayless School District passed Proposition I with 80.53% approval (848 votes). Bayless will issue a $23 million bond for safety and security, building upgrades and learning space improvements. This proposition will not raise the current tax rate of $0.6320 per $100 of assessed valuation. There were 1,053 total votes counted in this proposition.

“We are incredibly grateful for the strong support from our community, with 80.5% of voters saying yes to Proposition I,” Superintendent of Schools Amy Ruzicka said. “This outcome reflects a shared commitment to our children and the future of Bayless. These improvements will allow us to address critical infrastructure needs, enhance safety and create modern learning environments that support student and staff success for years to come.”
