Coyle Public Schools 2025 Bond Frequently Asked Questions Q. When is the election for the Coyle Public Schools 2025 Bond, and where do I vote? A. The election is Tuesday, May 13, 2025. Polls are open from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Voting will take place in polling locations where all other elections are held. All registered voters living in the Coyle School District’s boundaries are eligible to vote. Q. Why does Coyle Public Schools need a bond issue and what projects are included? A. This is the 75th Anniversary of Coyle FFA. The changes and focus of the program have continued to evolve and their current space is not adequate to handle updates. We also are needing to add a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program to help our students have options and introductions to other CareerTech opportunities. This will also allow our students to be better able to meet the new graduation requirements that are in effect with our current 8th grade students going forward. The second bond proposal would allow the school to purchase two route buses and one activity bus. This year we added a bus route to alleviate overcrowding and to reduce bus riding time for our students. The two buses we currently use are high mileage and in need of replacing for safety reasons. Our activity bus went down in August and to repair it would be too costly due to its age. We want an activity bus that all of our students would be able to use for any and all school activities. Q. Will there be a tax increase associated with the bond issue? A. This is a no tax increase bond issue. Q. What is the total cost of the 2025 Bond Coyle Public Schools are proposing? A. $2,900,000 Q. How was the community involved with providing input into the bond issue? A. Throughout the last few bond issue forums there were questions concerning updating our Agricultural Education classrooms. We have worked with groups and committees to determine the need based on potential growth, facilities assessments and security reviews. Q: What is a bond issue? A: This is a way for a school district to levy funding based on the Sinking Fund of our stakeholders property taxes in order to be able to afford construction costs. The Building Fund for all public schools is underfunded and not capable of a construction project of this size or scope. Q: What percentage of voters must support a bond election? A: The State of Oklahoma requires a super majority of votes cast. At least sixty percent of those votes must be in favor of the bond election for approval. Q: What can bond funds be used for in Oklahoma Schools? A: In Oklahoma, bond funds, typically through general obligation bonds (GO bonds), are used to finance long-term capital projects like infrastructure, schools, and public facilities, but not for day-to-day operational expenses. Such as: ● New school buildings ● Renovating existing schools ● Upgrading technology ● Improving sports facilities ● Transportation ● Textbooks ● Technology equipment Q: What if the bond doesn’t pass? A: If the bond doesn’t pass we will not build the new classrooms and will have to look at other, less efficient and more costly ways to meet the new graduation requirements. We would need to limit the number of students in our Agricultural Education programs and would need Q: When is the bond election and where can I get voting information? A: The bond election will be held on May 13, 2025from 7am to 7pm. You will vote on two propositions at that time. More information can be located on our website: www.coyle.k12.ok.us

Happy Easter from Coyle Public Schools.

8th Graders—Just a reminder—charge your laptops tonight so they are ready for testin tomorrow! Go to bed early so you are ready for your test! You have this!

Beside updating our AgEd facility, the new bond issue will provide a space for a STEM program. As technology increases it is necessary to provide opportunities for Coyle students to stay current and updated on trends for future career growth. The attached flyer provides more information on the STEM program. Housing these to programs in the same facility helps increase collaboration and learning while providing a shared space for hands-on activities and career development.
