If approved by voters, the 2025 bond proposal would address the currently identified issues such as safety, infrastructure, technology, and building improvements. This bond proposal would improve security infrastructure, including updated security measures, such as secure vestibules and updated access and camera systems. This proposal will also address water safety with drinking water filter systems. Currently, items like windows and roofs are beyond their life expectancy, and lose heat and decrease efficiency compared to new roofs. In addition, the roofs have leaks and need repairs to remain operational and protect our buildings from damage. A complete list of proposed projects for each respective building are on the district's website at bit.ly/MASBond2025 #MASBond2025
