Board approves $300 million bond package to put on ballot

The Chapel Hill‑Carrboro City Schools board unanimously approved a resolution to present a $300 million bond proposal to Orange County and place the bond question on the ballot.

District operations staff summarized the capital project sequencing and explained timeline constraints tied to county deliberation. The resolution authorized presenting the bond package and its recommended projects to the county, while noting that the ten‑year project list is a planning “North Star” and individual project timing can change.

Board members said they would circulate a fuller public presentation about the plan at a later meeting so residents could hear project detail. The district’s operations director noted the county’s schedule requires materials promptly so county deliberation can proceed; staff said the board would provide a streamlined presentation to the public ahead of county review.

Because placing the bond on the ballot starts the public process and the county timetable is tight, staff signaled follow‑up outreach and a public presentation will occur soon to explain the projects, sequencing and community impact.
