Background

On May 18, 2026, the Centennial School Board unanimously approved a resolution to put two questions on the November 2026 ballot: an operating levy of $375 per pupil a year for 10 years (Question 1) and a facilities bond (Question 2).

According to the district, Question 2 would provide about $108.9 million in building bonds for improvements to learning spaces, infrastructure, safety and security, and athletic and activity spaces across the district.

The district says it spent several years studying enrollment trends, financial pressures and facility conditions before proposing the plan. The two questions appear separately on the ballot.

Put on the ballot by Centennial School Board (ISD 12), unanimous, May 18, 2026.
