The J.O. Combs Unified School District Governing Board called for a November 4, 2025 bond election at the May Governing Board meeting.
The $80 million bond plan invests in the future of our children. The funds will be used for much needed safety and security improvements, facility
upgrades, transportation improvements, land and athletic facilities, along with student educational support.
Modernization of the emergency call system, upgraded classroom lock-sets and door magnets for lockdowns, lockdown shades, upgraded communication system and an expanded camera system will be prioritized.
Upgraded security system with card readers, perimeter fencing, front office safety renovations, vape detection system, and emergency response system upgrades will be prioritized.
Exciting improvements planned are track resurfacing, gym floor renovations, playground equipment replacement, and elementary shade structures.
Renovation plans include repairing and replacing general parking areas and fire lanes, addressing ADA accessibility needs, and updating restrooms to improve safety and functionality.
Planned improvements include replacing and upgrading aging HVAC systems—many of which are over 15 years old and have exceeded their expected service life. These updates will help improve energy efficiency and overall comfort in learning environments.
This work will include updating electrical and plumbing systems across the district to support safer, more energy-efficient, and reliable operations.
Pending projects include improvements to elementary multi-purpose room sound systems, the PA systems, and performing arts center equipment. In addition, interior painting and renovations are planned.
To help protect and preserve our school buildings, planned projects include roof replacements and exterior painting where needed. Whenever possible, the District will pursue additional funding through the Arizona School Facilities Division to help offset costs and maximize local resources.
Includes funding for curriculum adoptions across the length of the Bond. The adoptions will follow the current District adoption cycle.
Visionary plans include interactive classroom boards, multi-purpose room projection systems and upgraded wireless access points. Additionally, funds may be used to update student devices.
Planned upgrades and renovations to all district Library/Media centers, as well as upgrades to CTE labs and the Ag Science land lab.
Refreshing learning spaces with modern classroom furniture and K-12 curricula equipment such as band, science and CTE.
Replacing the 84 passenger buses as needed. Currently the district fleet has thirteen buses with over 150,000 miles and an additional nine buses with over 100,000 miles.
Purchase of passenger vans and white fleet to ensure maximum efficiency with all district travel.
Purchase of vehicles for transporting special education students. This population continues to grow.
New vehicles for the maintenance department and warehouse.
Plans to upgrade field lighting for baseball and softball at CHS and CMS.
Upgrades to site irrigation across the district and landscape upgrades to exterior parts of all campuses are pending projects.
Plans include renovating the press box, upgrading the sound system, and enhancing the home bleachers to improve the overall experience for fans, students, and the community.
Renovations to baseball, softball, tennis, outdoor volleyball courts and provide an enclosed courtyard.
