❓Didn’t the 2017 bond take care of our facility needs? The 2017 bond, supported by our community, funded many critical upgrades and safety improvements across all GPS schools—enhancing learning spaces and school security.
However, some projects that couldn’t be included in the 2017 bond now need urgent attention as our buildings continue to age.
