News Release

Colton School District Places Bond Measure On Ballot - 04/19/23

The Colton School District’s Board has placed Measure 3-593, an $8 million bond, on the May 16th ballot. 

 

The district also applied for and was granted a $4 million Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching (OSCIM) Program matching grant, which can only be accessed if voters approve Measure 3-593. If the bond measure is not approved, the $4 million grant funds will be distributed to another district.


If approved, the bond and matching grant will provide the Colton School District with $12 million to fund school facility capital projects, including:

 

  • Update and Upgrade School Facilities - repair and replace boilers, HVAC, siding, lighting, windows, flooring and other needed improvements. Upgrades would improve learning spaces, address deferred maintenance and save money through energy efficiency.

 

  • Expand Career and Technical Education - Renovate and remodel the current wood and metal shop building. Build a new facility for classes in the industrial trades.

 

  • Safety and Security Upgrades - Update and upgrade safety and security systems that were not part of the 2014 bond. This includes secure entryways at each school, access control, ADA accessibility upgrades and exterior lighting.

 

  • A Place for Community - Remodel the Colton High School Library to create a space for the community to gather and meet during non-school hours. Renovate and expand some of the athletic facilities and fields, including resurfacing the track and upgrades to the concession stands.

The new bond rate would be an estimated $ .79 more than the current $ .40 per thousand dollars of a home’s assessed value the community paid last year. For example, owners of a home with an assessed value of $294,000 could expect to pay just over $232 more per year or $20 a month. 

The median assessed value for all properties in the Colton School District is $166,147. The median assessed value is $293,875 for all residential properties in the district according to the Clackamas County Office of Taxation & Assessment. The assessed value is not the same as the real market value - Real Market Value (RMV) is the value the assessor has estimated a property would sell for on the open market as of the assessment date.
