  • SIMPLIFY TRANSPORTATION with a shared bus zone for Parkway and EHS.
  • Include a DEDICATED GYM AND CAFETERIA, supporting better and more efficient daily routines.

Understanding the Funding

The 2026 Bond package total project value for all projects is roughly $102 million: $75 million funded locally, which unlocks $27.4 million in matching state dollars.

The information below describes Parkway Intermediate's portion of the total project funds.

If approved by voters, $26.5 million of the approximately $36 million Parkway Intermediate total project cost would be generated by local tax dollars ("Local Share").

Roughly $8.7 million would come from state matching funds from the School Construction Assistance Program (State Funds).
