1996 Bond Program Summary

Nevada is a state that historically has not provided assistance for school construction and modernization projects. Seeking voter approval to pass bond questions has been the only feasible way of obtaining financing to build schools at the pace needed. Capital Improvement Programs are left to each individual county to support. An initiative in Nevada passes with a majority vote.

Voters approved $643 million for a building program to be completed by 2001. The program was to provided money for new school construction, classroom additions, modernization projects at existing schools, and technology and science equipment.
