Community members,
The district is excited to announce the successful passing of the FRSD Bond! It is a significant milestone for our community and a big thanks goes out to the community and staff members who worked hard to get the message out to voters.
By passing this bond, the community has demonstrated a commitment to providing students with the resources they need to thrive academically and personally. This support will enable us to make critical improvements to all four school buildings over the next three years.
On behalf of the staff, students, and school board, we would like to thank everyone who took the time to learn about the bond measure, engage in discussions, and ultimately cast their vote. As we move forward we will keep the Fern Ridge community updated every step of the way. A dedicated page on our website to track all bond related information is currently being developed. The groundwork has already started including:
- Selecting our owner’s representative, R & C Management.
- Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) for upcoming professional service work have been sent.
- Design packages and timelines/calendars are being developed.
- A community bond oversight committee process is being created and reviewed.
- The Due Diligence and Rating Prep call is scheduled for July 9th. (This is a necessary step before selling the bonds).
- Our bond sale is scheduled for August 8th.
- All required OSCIM grant paperwork is being compiled and submitted (This is the free 6 million dollar grant the district applied for and received).
We look forward to sharing more information as we move forward. Once again, thank you for your support and belief in our schools. Together you have made a solid and lasting investment in the future of the community and students of Fern Ridge School District.
