Medford board discusses referendum timeline, 10-year facility plan and community survey

District Administrator Laura Lundy presented a proposed referendum timeline at the board’s June 24 meeting, and Debby Brunett of Baird reviewed school finance basics to inform the board’s planning. Members discussed a 10-year facility plan and reviewed a facility-needs worksheet as they considered which projects to include on a forthcoming community survey.

Board members emphasized the need to identify projects for the community to weigh in on; the meeting record states a community survey will be sent soon but does not list the projects that will appear on it. No referendum question was finalized or voted on at the meeting.

The discussion is an early step in the district’s facilities and finance planning; implementation steps, project lists, budget estimates and a referendum date were not specified in the meeting minutes.
