Greetings Saydel Community!!
We have an exciting announcement to share with the stakeholders of our Saydel Family. Over the past eight months, the Saydel Facility and Grounds Steering Committee, consisting of over 40 members (community, parents, staff, and board members), has been working diligently to identify projects across our district for an upcoming bond referendum. The project sets at each campus address three major areas: safety and security, classroom and learning spaces, and activities and athletics, which all help to increase the longevity of our facilities and grounds as well as the sustainability of our district as a premier school in the metropolitan area. It’s truly a WIN for Learners, a WIN for Taxpayers, and a WIN for Schools and the Community.
Furthermore, we will be asking our public to support a $26.9M bond effort, which will not raise our school tax rate. For more information (project details, FAQ, Timeline, and Town Hall Meetings-TBD), please see our Saydel Bond Referendum Webpage, as well as taking time to view our Saydel Bond Referendum Kick-Off Video.

Lastly, we have a team working to circulate a bond petition, where we will be collecting signatures in efforts to place the referendum on the November 3, 2026 ballot. If you are interested in signing the petition, you may request a team member to stop by your residence to sign and share more information on the effort, you may also stop by the district office to sign, and/or you can look for committee representatives at upcoming school and community events.
Thank you for your time today and your ongoing support of our amazing schools. Go Eagles!!!
Yours In Service,
Todd A. Martin, Saydel CSD Superintendent
