Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[9]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

Noteworthy events

2014: $775 million bond on the May 2014 ballot

Voters approved a $775 million bond in the May 10, 2014, election. This package expanded classroom capacity to 66,000 students and added 14 new schools to the district. The final proposal was increased $17 million from an earlier draft due to higher costs for local land purchases. District officials noted that the package included $665.7 million for facilities, $103.2 million for instructional services, and $6.1 million for special programs. The bond package increased the debt service tax rate of local property owners to 50 cents per $100 of assessed value, which was the highest rate allowed by state law.[10]

Local activist Tom Fabry led opposition to the May bond vote. Fabry opposed the district's efforts to raise debt service to state limits. He also believed that the bond package could be smaller by eliminating technology and other rapidly depreciating assets. District officials countered that the district's rapid growth necessitated a large-scale investment in new facilities.[11]
