2016 Capital Improvement & School Construction Bond

In November 2016, voters approved a $252,000,000 bond measure to build two new schools and fund projects at every school in the Kent School District reducing overcrowding, improving student safety, and enhancing school environments.

Because the money is not available all at once, projects funded by the bond will be completed over a ten-year period as bonds are issued, sold, and repaid.
