Pacific Intermediate has served our community for generations. However, our goal is to make sure students and staff have the best possible space to learn and grow together.

On Tuesday, April 7, our community will vote on Proposition S. With approval of at least 57.14%, the bond issue will be a $43 million investment in our schools and students without raising property tax rates.

✅$38 million will support the construction of a new facility to replace Pacific Intermediate for grades 7-8, and allow 5th and 6th graders to transition to Riverbend Middle School.

✅Pacific Intermediate will continue to serve the community. Our plans include a partial retrofit that will allow PI to better accommodate our alternative (Arrow Academy) and special education programs.

Bond funds will also finance improvements at all MVR-III schools like infrastructure upgrades, new safety and security systems, and improvements to academic and activity spaces.

Get the facts about Prop S and learn more about the ways it would support our students at https://www.mvr3bond.org. 🗳️
