QUESTION:Shall the District be authorized to is-
sue general obligation bonds in an amount not
- exceeding $36,600,000? If the Bonds are ap-
proved,they will be payable from taxes on prop-
erty or property ownership that are not subject to
- the limits of sections 11 and 11 b,Article XI of the
Oregon Constitution.
SUMMARY:This measure may be passed only at
- an election with at least a 50 percent voter turn-
out. The Bonds would finance the costs of capital
- construction and capital improvements,including,

tary school and one new middle school;

talized interest;and

poses,the District may use any remaining bond

Crooked River Ranch, �agle Crest, Redmond,
Terrebonne, and Tumalo. It is one of Oregon's
fastest growing districts of 5,000 students and
- larger.
"Overcrowded"is listed as the District's most se-
rious problem by residents in a recent commu-
