Workshop four was very exciting! DLR Group presented three design renderings that provided a more detailed site plan of what the new high school wing could look like.
With every workshop, the process gets more exciting and a little more real. Of course, the designs are still being tweaked and discussed and we'd like your input!

School Bond Market Favors Junction City
In a fluctuating market, Junction City School District was able to leverage buyers for a successful return on bond sales this week. The District hired Piper Jaffray to facilitate $14.635 million in bond sales as generously authorized by our voters this last May. All bonds were purchased during the sale window coordinated between the District and Piper Jaffray. The calculated yield rates made them very palatable to a number of financial management companies, private investors, and industry professionals.
The estimated tax rate impact to our community was originally stated in our informational bond campaign as $1.62 per thousand dollars of assessed home value. The final rate has come in just under that amount and is estimated to remain at that amount throughout the ten year term, thus meeting our commitment to our taxpayers.
Additionally, the structure of the sale enabled the District to also realize premiums paid by the investors. These premiums have resulted in more than $2.8 million in additional capital construction revenue beyond the $14.635 million in bonds. Combined with the $4 million in matching funds from the State, the District will have a total of just over $21.5 million in capital funds to invest in the projects identified under the initial bond title. This means the District will be able to invest in more of the critical infrastructure needs at each of our buildings as well as achieve greater progress toward our high school investment master plan.
As outlined in our earlier bond information, the District will adopt an evaluation and decision –making process for distributing these funds to projects as identified in both our original bond title and master plan and will share the results with our community as that evolves.
Junction City students, staff, and community will be updated throughout this process, and our staff will be available to answer any questions. This week’s bond sale success will allow us to further our goal of maintaining and advancing district facilities to support district educational goals, enhance safety, and promote community involvement.
Thank you again to all of our community for your support.

Junction City School District Visioning and Facilitation
The Facilities Steering Committee started meeting in 2008 to develop a long-range facilities plan for the district based on an assessment of facilities that gLAs Architects completed. When the economy soured in 2008, the group went on hiatus. It was reconvened in 2012 and again in the spring of 2015.
