Edmond Public Schools is honored by the continued support of our community in passing both of our bond issues tonight. These two propositions totaling $147 million will allow the district to continue its positive forward momentum by providing state of the art facilities and materials for our students.
EPS Superintendent Dr. Angela Grunewald said, “We are grateful for the continued support of the Edmond community. Tonight marks 62 consecutive bond issues that have passed in Edmond which highlights how much our community values public education. Our current and future students and staff members will greatly benefit from the results of today’s election.”

Construction of a new elementary and phase one of a middle school on land the district owns at the Southeast corner of Air Depot and Covell
A new Freshman Academy at Edmond Santa Fe High School
A new Transition Academy for our special needs students age 18-21

Dr. Grunewald continued, “We could not be more excited to bring these projects to life in the coming months and years. Every Edmond school and every Edmond student will benefit from these projects. Our students, staff members and community will be proud of their district and the progress this vote will allow EPS to continue to make.”
