Bond Issue Update
Over the past year, Bennington Public Schools has been evaluating feedback provided by our community regarding previous bond issues, working with project stakeholders to respond to this input, and attempting to develop plans that meet the needs of the District and community.
BPS has launched an online survey to further gather information on the topic. All residents of the district should have received a postcard in the mail inviting them to complete the survey by December 2, 2024, to share their thoughts and priorities. Paper copies of the survey are available at the District Office for those unable to complete it online.
All surveys are due by December 2, 2024
