• On Dec. 8, 2009, voters in the Norman school district overwhelmingly approved more than $109 million in a bond election to pay for five years of capital improvements throughout the district. The improvements were identified and recommended in a 2006 facilities study. The bonds are being issued over a multi-year period so as to match pre bond-election millage rates. The multi-year approach also provides NPS the opportunity to make dramatic facility improvements and additions where needed and implement quality instructional technology throughout the district. Most of the 2009 bond projects either have already been completed or will be completed by summer 2012. Per the requirements of the election, all projects were finished by July 31, 2013.
