Not just for those of us with kids in the district, but for all of us! In order for them to succeed, they must have a good education. In order for them to get a good education, the MUST have a safe, warm, uncrowded learning environment...passing this bond would be a step in the right direction.

This is not an attempt to take unnecessary money from the taxpayers. There are serious needs (NOT WANTS) in the Cascade School District (which includes Aumsville, Cloverdale, Marion, Turner and West Stayton Elementary Schools, Cascade Junior High and Cascade Senior High). These schools range in age from 30-76 years old. ALL of the schools need to have fire safety issues, electrical upgrades, and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements met. The schools need plumbing and dry rot repair, and many need heating and ventilation system upgrades.

Aumsville Elementary School has to bus their 5th grade students to Turner Elementary and their 6th grade students, along with Turners 6th grade students, go to the Junior High School. The student population continues to grow at a rate that is more than the projected growth. The district is running out of classroom space. Both Aumsville Elementary and Cascade Senior high need additional classrooms built.

Keeping classroom sizes at manageable levels, so that teachers can actually teach, not just baby-sit, is (as it should be) a priority. Keeping our students at their local schools is also a priority. This bond will maintain all 5 of our elementary schools.

The district currently has NO bond indebtedness, with the last bond passing in 1967.
