Q: Why is the Galesburg-Augusta School Board placing the bond project on the November 2, 2021 ballot when the voters did not pass it in May?
A: The needs represented in the bond project have not gone away. The proposal lost by three (3) votes. After the election, many community members attended the regular board meeting and felt strongly that we need to try again for the benefit of today’s students and our future Rams.

Q: Does G-A still have one of the lowest millage rates compared to other local districts?
A: Yes. At 5.5 mills we are second to the bottom. With an increase to 6.7 mills, we will still be in the bottom third for the number of mills levied.

Additional classroom space at the Primary School means returning 4th grades to the PS and 8th grades to the MS. It will open space back up at the High School for needed programs:
Space is maxed out at our Primary School due to necessary and additional programs being added over the past several years. By adding an additional wing on to the Primary which will house four 4th grade classrooms and a STEAM education classroom, we once again will be able to house our 8th graders back at the Middle School and our Primary will return to a PreK-4 building.
Currently the High School space is also maxed out keeping us from adding teachers and courses. Our very successful Robotics program is housed in a maintenance building.
You can register to vote AND vote at the same time! Just bring a valid ID to your precinct on November 2nd!

Q: How will this bond help academic achievement at G-A?
A: Expanding and repurposing facilities, increasing the number of academic/athletic opportunities, offering increasing STEM/STEAM curriculum, flexible spacing for after-school student groups, has been shown to positively impact students' interest in learning, encouraging them to stay in school and graduate!
● By upgrading and improving the learning environment, our students will be better able to learn the skills needed to be successful adults in our communities. Researchers have followed adults who participated in high school after-school programming such as athletics. They found that those adults exhibit goal setting, perseverance, communication skills and far greater confidence in themselves and their futures.
All G-A students deserve the opportunities to learn and master these life skills for their future success as community members and contributors to the world around them.
Q: Are there still buses in the bond project?
A: Yes. Our bus fleet is an aging fleet that requires increasing and costly repairs to keep them safely on the road.
Did you know G-A's oldest running bus is 21 years old?
