What’s in the Bond?

Proposition A — Construction & Instructional Materials ($1,338,600,000)

  • Six middle schools: Apollo, Liberty, North, Parkhill, West, and Westwood

  • Career & Technical Education (CTE) Center and an Environmental Center

  • Infrastructure & safety: roofing, HVAC, restroom renovations, safety & security upgrades, health services upgrades

  • Transportation & equipment: school buses and maintenance vehicles; school/classroom/cafeteria/office/maintenance equipment

  • Teaching & student support: instructional and curriculum materials, CTE equipment, fine arts instruments & uniforms, athletic uniforms/equipment and turf replacements

Proposition B — Technology Devices ($54,000,000)

Refresh & replacement of:

  • Student Wi-Fi hotspots

  • Specialized desktops (ACI, PEIMS, business offices)

  • CTE labs (computer & A/V) and art/journalism devices

  • Library & media centers: circulation desk, card catalog, and student station devices

Proposition C — Stadium Upgrades ($7,400,000)

Upgrades at RISD’s two largest stadiums — Eagle/Mustang and Wildcats/Rams:

  • ADA seating upgrades

  • Turf replacement

  • LED lighting upgrades
    Required by law to be separate due to occupancy.

Tax Impact

Approval of Bond 2025 is anticipated to result in an approximately $0.04 I&S (Interest & Sinking) tax rate increase based on current projections. For a home with an average market value of $500,000 in RISD, this could potentially result in an estimated annual increase of $124, or about $10 per month.

Homeowners 65 or older are not impacted by a tax increase because they qualify to have their property tax levy frozen when they turn 65. The frozen tax levy does not stay in place if a homeowner makes a substantial improvement to their home.
