Osakis Building Bond Referendum 2026 | Why Now?
After the April 2025 referendum, the district paused to listen. Through planning, analysis, and community engagement, feedback from meetings, conversations, and a districtwide survey helped refine this proposal to better reflect community priorities. Watch this short video.
As a result, the February 10, 2026, Building Bond Referendum proposal is:
40% smaller than the April 2025 plan
Estimated tax impact for a median-value home ($215,000) reduced by 75%
Community feedback highlighted priorities such as safety and security improvements, addressing outdated auditorium and gym spaces, and updating Career & Technical Education (CTE) areas.

A FAQ we have heard is how this plan is different from what was proposed last April.
A: The $19.9M Feb. 10, 2026 Building Bond Referendum addresses urgent education, safety, and facility needs—with the project scope reduced by 40% based on community feedback.
Removed dedicated auditorium. Instead, the plan includes a flexible performance space that can support fine arts programming, physical education (P.E.), and community events.
Removed a competition gym with a walking track. The performance space will also serve as the P.E. gym.
Removed music/band room addition.
Secured entry improvements: The addition will now incorporate the elementary office to strengthen safety and streamline main office access. This will also allow the elementary office to be repurposed for special education needs.
Preserved more green space.
