The Auburn School District proposed a $491 million bond to combat overcrowding, including plans for a fifth middle school and new buildings for Cascade Middle School and Alpac Elementary School. In Minnesota, the Alden-Conger Public School District sought $1.25 million in bonds and a capital project levy for technology and curriculum, while Austin Public Schools approved a $24.9 million bond referendum for facility improvements. By November 2026, voters in Baltimore and Boulder participated in elections regarding significant bond measures. Baltimore citizens faced four bond questions, A through D, which would allow the city to borrow up to $280 million for affordable housing, schools, community development, and public infrastructure following a credit rating downgrade by Moody’s. In Boulder, voters rejected Issue 2K, a $400 million measure intended for building repairs that would have required a property tax increase. Opponents of the Boulder measure, including the Boulder Chamber, called for more scrutiny of municipal spending. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-02: Voters decide on municipal bond measures in Baltimore and Boulder Voters in Baltimore consider $280 million in bond questions for infrastructure and housing, while Boulder residents reject a $400 million bond measure and associated property tax hike. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/voters-decide-on-municipal-bond-measures-in-baltimore-and-boulder ### 2026-10-09: U.S. school districts propose bond measures for November ballots Multiple U.S. school districts, including Auburn, Alden-Conger, and Austin, have placed bond measures and referendums on the November ballot to fund construction, technology, and facility improvements. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/us-school-districts-propose-bond-measures-for-november-ballots --- Cite as: U.S. municipal and school bond measures.
