Q: How will this bond help academic achievement at G-A?
A: Expanding and repurposing facilities, increasing the number of academic/athletic opportunities, offering increasing STEM/STEAM curriculum, flexible spacing for after-school student groups, has been shown to positively impact students' interest in learning, encouraging them to stay in school and graduate!
● By upgrading and improving the learning environment, our students will be better able to learn the skills needed to be successful adults in our communities. Researchers have followed adults who participated in high school after-school programming such as athletics. They found that those adults exhibit goal setting, perseverance, communication skills and far greater confidence in themselves and their futures.
All G-A students deserve the opportunities to learn and master these life skills for their future success as community members and contributors to the world around them.
Q: Are there still buses in the bond project?
A: Yes. Our bus fleet is an aging fleet that requires increasing and costly repairs to keep them safely on the road.
Did you know G-A's oldest running bus is 21 years old?

Why does Galesburg-Augusta need additional classroom space?
Additional classroom space at the Primary School means returning 4th grades to the PS and 8th grades to the MS. It will open space back up at the High School for needed programs!

2021 Bond Proposal - Athletic Facility
The site at the HS was created to support a new athletic facility. And it's not just for football. We have students who play soccer, perform in marching band, softball, tennis, baseball, and who are required to take fitness and health in our PE classes. Currently, there are no bathrooms outside for anyone’s use and we must bus all our groups of students to the Primary on game days. Imagine loading up all our marching band equipment into a trailer, taking it to the old field, performing at half time and throughout the game, loading the equipment all backup, busing band students back to the High School, and then unloading all the instruments again. Our students deserve to walk outside their band room and head onto the field! This facility will be utilized by all our high school students, many middle students, and by community members who would like a safe place to walk.

We may be a small district, but our high school students still need experiential learning opportunities that increase their preparedness for life after graduation. Having the flexible space of a multi-purpose facility will allow our high school staff to add such things as: large group presentations related to health and safety, career and technical education options throughout the county, job fairs, college application/FAFSA nights, fine arts celebrations, large group projects, robotic competitions, music, speech, theatre, debate, and additional P.E. classes.
We need space for indoor marching band practice, flag corp practice, sideline cheer and to start a competitive cheer program.
It will also be available for after-school programming including various sports team practices.
