What will you see on the ballot?

On November 3, 2026, voters will consider a proposed $320.5 million bond referendum for New Hanover County Schools.

Here’s what to know before you vote!

The projects included in the proposed bond for New Hanover County Schools were determined after every NHCS facility was inspected by a third party to assess facility needs, such as roofs, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, and other areas.

The findings from the third-party facility assessments were considered alongside the independent discussions and priorities identified through district wide staff meetings, community town halls and the Capital Finance & Bond Committee. Together, these sources helped inform which needs and projects were prioritized for inclusion in the proposed bond.

See a full list of building projects, safety & security improvements, technology enhancements, and other district-wide improvements on our website: www.nhcs.net/community/2026-bond



¡Aquí tiene lo que debe saber antes de votar!

Los proyectos incluidos en la propuesta de bonos para las Escuelas del Condado de New Hanover se determinaron después de que un tercero inspeccionara cada instalación de las Escuelas del Condado de New Hanover para evaluar sus necesidades, como techos, sistemas de climatización, plomería, electricidad, protección contra incendios y otras áreas.

Los resultados de las evaluaciones de las instalaciones realizadas por terceros se consideraron junto con las discusiones independientes y las prioridades identificadas a través de reuniones de personal de todo el distrito, asambleas comunitarias y el Comité de Finanzas y Bonos de Capital. En conjunto, estas fuentes ayudaron a determinar qué necesidades y proyectos se priorizaron para su inclusión en la propuesta de bonos.Consulte la lista completa de proyectos de construcción, mejoras de seguridad, avances tecnológicos y otras mejoras en todo el distrito en nuestro sitio web: www.nhcs.net/community/2026-bond
