🚨This is Bigger Than a School Building — It’s About Our Future
Montevideo Public Schools puts students first - from cradle to career. We empower all learners to achieve their potential by providing an exemplary education rooted in innovation, partnerships, and accountability.
The Right Plan. Right Now! Bond Referendum for Buildings asks voters to consider improving school facilities so students can learn and grow for future career or college success.
This referendum is about a dedicated performing arts center for student and community use, learning space updates, critical plumbing renovations, ADA improvements, and enhanced security — all in one clear, streamlined proposal. A strong school leads to a strong community, preserving agricultural land and home values, and business growth. Every vote is critically important in the Montevideo Public Schools bond referendum.
