= Scenario #5 - Pass a Bond =

Why you need to bond
====Your district has been growing in student population and classrooms are getting tight. Additional projections indicate more preschoolers are on the way. There seems to be a need to build more schools, but the district will need to go before the voters for a bond to address this growth.====

====//“Research frequently shows that school systems that have involved a representative group of citizens on a committee to help gain support for a bond issue have met with more success than those who have failed to stress citizen involvement. The role played by citizens in the bond issue undertaking must be an active one if overall citizen support is to be expected. The advisory committee should function at the study-of-needs stage of the bond issue. In other words, the group should help determine the system’s needs and study alternatives before working for any recommended solution to meet the needs. This kind of involvement builds citizen trust in the schools.”//====

====1. Your first task: Determine whom you wish to invite to be on this Citizens’ Advisory Committee, which should be assembled before “final decisions are made concerning the amount of the bond issue and the date."====
