Tigard‑Tualatin School District leaders celebrated the passage of Measure 30 four‑three 42, which the district reported received 52.7% of the vote. Interim district communications staff told the board the official vote certification is scheduled for June 16 and said planning and work are already underway.

The passage matters because the bond provides funding for a multi‑year facilities program the district plans to begin implementing immediately. The interim director of communications told the board, “we can now celebrate the passage of Measure 30 four‑three 42,” and said district staff including Darren, Kevin, Jessica and others were already gaining traction on bond work.

The district’s campaign team—led by a PAC that coordinated fundraising, yard signs, mailers and social media outreach—outlined how grassroots outreach and consistent messaging helped win voter support. Karen Hugart, co‑chair of the PAC, thanked volunteers and voters and described the PAC’s role in fundraising, PSO coordination and outreach. Bond consultant Jeremy Wright said the campaign rested on three elements—repair, secure and prepare—and credited pre‑planning, polling and clear ballot language for the outcome: “Getting that part right was absolutely important to getting the next part right.”

Board members emphasized the need for transparency and fiscal oversight going forward. Director Zershmeid told the room she felt responsibility to ensure “every single dollar is spent correctly, spent wisely,” and said a bond oversight committee is forming. Superintendent Udo Seneta (present) reminded the board of the district’s responsibility to deliver projects on time and on budget and noted the total bond authorization referenced at the meeting: $421,000,000.

The district intends to post project timelines, maintain public communications about expenditures and convene the oversight committee as projects move from planning into design and construction. The board did not take a formal vote related to the bond during this agenda item; the presentation was a recognition and informational briefing.

Next steps outlined by staff include certification of the election results on June 16, establishing the bond oversight committee and beginning detailed project planning and procurement. The communications team said it will keep the board and public updated as milestones are reached.
