The Centennial School Board has brought forward two critical referendum questions for the November 2026 ballot to address long-term operational and facility needs:

• QUESTION 1: OPERATING LEVY
  The district is asking voters to authorize an additional $375 per pupil operating levy to maintain strong educational programming and support student learning.
• QUESTION 2: FACILITIES BOND
  The district is asking voters to authorize $108.9 million in building bonds to maintain safe, functional learning environments through school facility improvements.

See our schools. Learn about identified needs. Ask questions.
