According to the latest figures from Bloomberg, municipal bond elections (which include school district elections) passed at a rate of only 55%.
What does that mean for you? It means your odds of passing a bond issue in November are basically a coin flip.
To increase your chances for success:
- Engage in a pre-election survey now to see where you stand.
- Make whatever necessary course correction, based on what you learn from the survey.
- Start a Citizens Advisory Committee now that can morph into a Campaign Committee in the 90 days before the election.
- Start a Speakers Bureau now that can begin presenting to local organizations.
- Start an educational campaign now to inform patrons of district needs.
When our clients take these steps, they are successful at the ballot box 97% of the time.
