On November 4, 2025, Hesperia voters will have the opportunity to vote on a bond initiative that would help the district generate $11.7 million to fund district-wide facility upgrades for current and future generations of Panther students.
It is expected that the bond initiative would result in NO INCREASE above the current debt millage rate, ensuring that our district could continue to improve our schools without raising debt tax rates above 2024 levels for our community!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bond proposal on the ballot?
A bond proposal that, if approved, will maintain the current tax rate – so no estimated tax rate increase for the 2025 tax levy over the 2024 tax levy – to help enhance safety and security, improve infrastructure, upgrade athletic facilities and classroom environments.
How can funds from a bond be spent?
Voter-approved bond funds can be spent on new construction, additions, remodeling, site improvements, athletic facilities, playgrounds, buses, furnishings, equipment, and technology. Funds raised through the sale of bonds cannot be used on operational expenses such as employee salaries and benefits, school supplies, and textbooks. Bond funds must be kept separate from operating funds and must be audited by an independent auditing firm.
