Referendum Information
Dear URS Families and Friends,
I want to start by thanking all the staff, parents, and community members who helped support the building referendum for Union Ridge School. Many of you volunteered your time and efforts to get out information about necessary renovations to the building and the need to increase space due to overcrowding. Again, I can’t thank you enough for all your efforts.
It was because of the dedication of parents, staff, and the many friends of Union Ridge School that made this happen. Once the election results are certified, the planning and preparation stage begins. We will be providing more information related to the next steps as we begin our planning meetings. Today demonstrates the strong commitment to education in our school district.
Thank you for your continued support of Union Ridge School.
The Union Ridge School District 86 Board of Education has approved placing a funding measure on the March 19, 2024, ballot. This plan addresses needs identified in a facilities assessment conducted in 2020 and reflects community and staff priorities.
Proceeds from the $35 million bond referendum will be used to improve safety and security and fund building improvements including adding 8 classrooms and 2 science labs. The library and cafeteria, which are used by all students, will be relocated and reconfigured.
