Bond Program

In May 2018, Corvallis voters approved a $199,916,925 capital construction bond, enabling us to transform our aging infrastructure and provide more innovative and equitable opportunities for students. We are proud of the level of public participation and input that has informed the design process.

Bond Program

Overview

All aspects of the bond program aligned with the work of the district Innovation Team and the Core Values for Educational Design. The Facilities Bond Program Management Plan provided the strategies and procedures implemented by the district to execute the bond program successfully. This plan establishes an organizational framework, roles and responsibilities of key participants, decision-making protocols, cost management strategies, and reporting requirements.

Design Process

Public engagement has been a foundation of the CSD bond program. School-based Design Advisory Committees were formed at the beginning of the design process at each school. Teams were composed of up to twelve members including key staff, students, and members of school stakeholder groups, including neighborhood association representation. These committees were facilitated by bond program architects to serve as advisors to the design professionals.

Bond Oversight Committee

The Bond Oversight Committee actively monitored the Corvallis School District bond program by:

  • Ensuring bond revenues were used only for purposes consistent with the voter-approved 2018 bond measure and consistent with state law
  • Served as a key communicator of information related to the bond

Sustainability

The Corvallis School District believes that we all have a responsibility to be stewards of the environment. The CSD Bond program included projects centered around sustainability, designed to upgrade and modernize our school buildings and provide a healthy and sustainable learning environment for students.

In alignment with the district Sustainability Management Plan, the District developed a set of technical design standards based on sustainable construction best practices from across the country. The standards were developed by a team of district staff, design professionals, and community members to help the District meet the sustainability goals outlined in the Sustainability Management Plan.

These standards provided guidance for our construction team to assess building design and construction in terms of energy and water efficiency, a safe and engaging learning environment, sustainable transportation choices, and waste reduction.
