2009 Bond Projects Information
On Nov. 3, 2009, Springfield Public Schools' voters approved a no-tax-increase bond issue that will leverage federal stimulus money to fund air conditioning, construction & improvements and technology.
Without increasing the current tax rate, Springfield residents invested $50 million in our schools to create quality learning environments for all students.
