Newcastle Public Schools Board of Education approved at its monthly meeting a $10.8 million bond to be voted on in November. School officials said the bond will allow the district to stay within its bonding capacity and continue to make facility improvements across the district without raising taxes.
The school district has set this bond election for area voters on November 18, 2025.
Dr. Cathy Walker, superintendent of Newcastle Public Schools, presented to the school board items included on this bond. These items include purchasing land for another elementary school, safe rooms for the current upper elementary school, additional seating and restrooms at the stadium, and renovations to the track.
