Referendum 2026
Maintaining strong schools requires both high-quality learning experiences and safe, well-functioning facilities, both now and into the future.
Planning today to support every learner tomorrow!
Why This Work Matters
Strong schools don’t happen by chance. They require planning, investment, and responsible stewardship over time.
Through Centennial Forward, the district is taking a proactive, data-informed approach to:
- Maintain safe, secure, and well-functioning schools
- Support updated learning environments and teaching practices
- Protect community investments in our facilities
- Ensure every student has access to high-quality learning spaces
How We Got Here
Centennial Forward is the result of a multi-year process involving:
- Community members, families, staff, and students
- Long-Range Planning Committees
- Facility assessments, enrollment analysis, and financial review
Together, this work has identified key priorities and needs across the district.
Where We Are Now
Based on community input and data analysis, the district has identified four priority areas:
- Learning Spaces & Capacity
- Safety & Security
- Activities & Community Use
- Facility Maintenance & Sustainability
These priorities reflect what our community values most: safe schools, strong learning environments, and responsible long-term planning.
What's Next: A Community Decision
Community Vote in November 2026
On May 18, 2026, the Centennial School Board unanimously approved a resolution to place two questions on the November 2026 ballot.
These questions reflect a comprehensive, long-range plan addressing both:
- Student learning (operating levy)
- School facilities (bond referendum)
The bond question is contingent on approval of the operating levy, meaning both must be approved for facility improvements to move forward.
