2021 RISD Bond Election Presentation - Please register to receive the Zoom link

Based on the recommendations of a community bond steering committee, RISD trustees on Feb. 8 voted to place two bond propositions before voters as part of the May 1 election. The total of both propositions is $750 million. RISD plans to keep its debt service tax rate at the current $0.35/per $100 of taxable value even if RISD voters approve Bond 2021.

One proposition for $694 million is for capital construction, infrastructure, repairs, safety and security, and equipment. The other proposition is for $56 million for student and staff technology. Some of the projects the proposed Bond 2021 package would fund include:

• Renovate aging campuses
• Repair and maintain schools
• Expand schools experiencing enrollment growth
• Begin the process of moving RISD to the 6-8 grade middle school model
• Provide safety and security enhancements for schools
• Update instructional materials and equipment for students
• Provide new school buses and district maintenance and security vehicles
• Provide updated computer devices for students and staff along with upgrades to the district’s technology infrastructure
