Des Moines Public Schools is seeking voter approval for a significant $265 million bond as part of its ambitious "Reimagining Education" initiative. This proposal is designed to modernize school facilities across the district, enhancing the learning environment for students and ultimately aiming to improve academic outcomes.

In order for the bond proposal to appear on the November ballot, it must first gather sufficient signatures from the community.

The outcome of this initiative could significantly shape the educational landscape for years to come.
