The Hood River County School District will be conducting community polling over the next week to determine what people would support in a planned bond measure request this May.  District board members were briefed by Superintendent Dan Goldman and a consulting team on the findings of community workgroups on district facility needs.  Two packages were presented, with both based around taking care of deferred maintenance along with improving technology options, a six-classroom expansion of Hood River Middle School, and refurbishment of STEM facilities at Wy’east Middle School  The difference was in how to create more elementary school space in the lower valley, with a 42 million dollar package including money for six new classrooms at Westside Elementary, while a 60 million dollar bond measure would accommodate a rebuild of May Street Elementary.  Goldman says what the community tells the district will dictate what they can do.  The district board will receive the polling results on January 13, and need to make a decision by the end of January to get a bond measure on the May ballot.  A bond measure approved in 2000 comes off the books in 2017, and both of the packages the workgroups came up with would keep tax rates where they are now.
