Thanks to bond funding, we have been able to uphold our commitment to providing modern, secure, and welcoming learning environments for students and staff. These funds have facilitated significant infrastructure enhancements throughout our school district. From strengthening safety and security measures to renovating classrooms that support diverse learning styles and needs, bond funding has allowed us to maintain safe, comfortable campuses that reflect the pride and dedication of our community.

Strong schools create strong communities. By investing in our schools through bond funding, we are also investing in the future of Cape Girardeau. Upgraded school facilities contribute to neighborhood growth and can positively impact property values. With the support of our community, these investments help us address facility needs proactively, preventing the higher costs associated with deferred maintenance or unexpected repairs. We remain committed to being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, ensuring that our schools remain safe, modern, and built to serve future generations.

In April 2019, Cape Girardeau taxpayers approved Proposition Y, a no-tax-increase bond issue that allowed the District to borrow $12 million for several projects and improvements. These projects not only enhance the educational experience for our students but enable us to continue providing students with safe learning environments across the District.
