In 1998 voters in the district voted in favor of a school bond. In 2016 the voters again voted in favor of a school bond, this time worth $157 million. The bond needed at least 60% of the vote to pass.[3] In 2019 the district began building three elementary schools using 2016 bond money.[4]
It has a 10-acre (4.0 ha) farming area for both generating food and as an educational tool. The district paid $44,000 to acquire the land in 1970.[5]
