On Tuesday, September 13, voters cast their ballots for the bond issue question. To pass, the bond issue needed to receive at least 60 percent approval. The night ended with 60.47 percent voter approval.
As a result of this approved vote, our district will be able to move forward on a series of targeted improvements at Hudson High School, including updating the building systems and aging infrastructure (such as windows, plumbing, lighting, flooring, cabinetry, and HVAC systems). We will also work on converting underused space into classrooms, creating a safer main entrance, rebuilding the career and technical education labs, and adding needed gym space.
I cannot thank our community members enough for their support and involvement throughout this entire process. As readers may know, our Community Task Force has been engaged in a comprehensive facility planning process. A community-wide survey in April and May of this year allowed our district and task force to receive valuable input as we examined facility needs and explored potential solutions.
The petition from our community at the June 14 board meeting resulted in the bond issue question being placed on the ballot for September 13.
Having access to these funds will positively impact our students and schools in a huge way. Hudson Schools will be more equipped to prepare young people for their lives after graduation by providing much-needed educational and extracurricular resources in a comfortable and safe environment.
We look forward to sharing updates as we make headway on these exciting improvements. Once again, we would like to thank our Community Task Force for its tireless efforts and dedication to this project throughout 2021 and 2022.
And, as always, we are incredibly grateful to our community and your continued support of the Hudson Community School District and the students we serve!
