Yale Public Schools: Bond Proposal
What It Will Cost You Yale Public Schools
The number one question with a bond is “What will it cost me?” The following taxpayer cost analysis was provided by the Stephen L. Smith Corporation.
Improvements to YPS Bond Overview On January 13, 2015 the citizens of the Yale school district will have the opportunity to impact students at Yale Public Schools for years to come. Two bond issues will be on the ballot for your consideration.
Opportunities to Learn More An open to the public, informational meeting will be held on December 16, 2014 at 6:30 P.M. in the Homer Ray Homer Gymnasium. This meeting will provide an opportunity for you to ask our administration, the bonding company, and the architect questions you may have concerning the bond issues.
