Bond & Levy
Bond & Levy Informational Campaigns and Materials
We have 50+ years of experience under our belts when it comes to helping school districts communicate the importance of voter approved school funding measures. School levies and capital bonds are critical as districts work to bridge the gap between what the state pays for school and the actual cost to operate and fund programs and provide adequate facilities for students.
Our team of communications managers have helped countless districts build robust informational campaigns and materials that help their local tax payers understand the complex finance picture, as well as why local funding is essential.
Our creative approach and our proven process guides districts from the initial planning phases all the way through to election day. We know how to talk about and present informational strategies and materials for Educational Maintenance and Operations Levies, Technology Levies, and Capital Facilities Bonds.
General Bond & Levy Campaign
In addition to our direct services for districts, we’ve also developed an informational campaign that has been used statewide. The landing page and social media graphics are available in both English and Spanish.
