On Wednesday, August 28th, the Adams 12 Five Star Schools Board of Education unanimously approved the placement of an $830 million bond for buildings and a $34.5 million mill levy override for operations on the November ballot.
With voter approval, this investment will:
- Attract and retain high quality educators

- Replace aging roofs, repairing heating and cooling systems
- Rebuilding and modernizing aging schools, and build a new Thornton High School
