Hear from Special Education Teacher Aubrey Clay about how current space limitations affect her students and teaching.
“As a Special Education teacher, I work in a very small room that was originally an office/copier space — with no windows and very limited storage. The layout makes it challenging to provide individualized instruction, manage materials, and accommodate students who need movement or a quiet area to regulate. These conditions impact both my workflow and my students’ ability to focus and feel comfortable. Larger, purpose-built classrooms with natural light, better storage, and accessible layouts would make a huge difference in supporting my students and their families effectively.”

Industrial Technology Teacher Gina Huhnerkoch shares how space limitations impact hands-on learning.
“In the Career and Technical Education (CTE) room, we are extremely limited on space. Our wood shop has a lot of equipment, but there isn’t enough room for safe and efficient use, which makes it difficult for students to learn properly. In the welding shop, I can only accommodate six students at a time due to limited stations. The proposed plan would expand these areas, creating a safer and more efficient environment, allowing us to add more classes and allow more students to participate in CTE programs.”
Visit GHECBond.com/plan to learn more about the proposed referendum, and don't forget to vote on or before Tuesday, November 4.

Elementary Title 1 Instructor Maisy Jorgensen shares how current space limitations impact the ability to serve students.
"My current space is about half the size of what it was originally intended to be. Working with students in grades K–5 creates space challenges, especially with older kids who need more room to work. A new space would make a huge difference for my students’ learning."
