The cost for the bond projects is approximately $247.5 million. The current tax rate will increase by about $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed value — or, approximately $125 per year on a home assessed at $250,000. This equals approximately $10.42 per month.

OSCIM Grant
Sherwood School District was selected to be one of only 11 districts in Oregon to receive an Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching (OSCIM) grant. As it is contingent on the passing of a bond, the District needed to pass the bond measure in the November 2016 election in order to receive $4,468,542 in bond-matching funds. (The genesis of OSCIM funds came from the 2015 Legislature and the identified need to assist districts around the state with addressing their growing deferred maintenance needs.)
