November 3: Review both school district questions
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Centennial voters will decide two separate referendum questions: an operating levy for student learning and daily operations, and a facilities bond for school improvements.
FAQs
This week’s FAQs explain what would happen if either question does not pass.
Question 1 FAQ: What happens if the operating levy does not pass?
The district would continue making budget reductions and adjustments in future budget cycles. Those decisions would affect the classroom experience, including staffing, curriculum resources and program implementation.
Question 2 FAQ: What happens if the facilities bond does not pass?
The identified facility needs would remain. The district would continue managing them within existing resources. As deferred maintenance and building security systems age, costs covered by the general fund would leave fewer resources available for classroom needs and staffing.
Review the full ballot and locate both school district questions. Find early-voting options or confirm your Election Day polling place at isd12.org/centennial-forward.
