Camas Ballot Measures

On February 6, 2007, voters approved a $90 million school construction bond and a six-year replacement technology levy.

The bond authorized the district to build two new elementary schools, completely replace Helen Baller Elementary and Doc Harris Stadium, and expand Lacamas Heights Elementary, Dorothy Fox Elemenartary, Camas High School, the Hayes Freedom High School and parking at the transportation center.

The technology levy, which replaced the one that expired in 2007, pays for:

  • Equipment, software and hardware;
  • Learning opportunities such as class presentations, video projects, online curriculum, career and scholarship research, skill-building technology, test preparation, and phonics programs;
  • Communication systems including network upgrades required to run state data-processing software, web servers, email, phones and voice mail, increased bandwidth for more efficient and reliable access to the internet, and other on-line resources;
  • Increased productivity such as grade/assignment monitoring, classroom videoconferencing, digital video distribution and streaming media, and electronic reporting for grades, student data, attendance and assessment;
  • Does not pay for staff.
