A bond referendum gives voters the opportunity to decide whether Wake County may use general obligation bonds to finance these projects. A general obligation bond is backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the County and is considered public debt. General obligation bonds carry lower interest rates than other bonds or financing methods.
It asks voters to decide on a $142 million bond for new libraries, as well as renovations and expansions for existing libraries, when they head to the polls on Nov. 5. Currently, almost all Wake County residents live within 20 minutes of a Wake County Public Libraries facility. Nearly 99% have a 15-minute travel time, and 84.7% are within 10 minutes of a branch. Projects funded by the proposed bond would bring the percentage of Wake County residents in that 10-minute category up to 87%. |
For more information, see the Wake County Public Libraries website.
WCPSS Meetings & Representation

LPES is in District 9, which is represented at the Wake County Board of Education (BOE) by Tyler Swanson ([email protected]). If you have questions or concerns that you would like represented at a BOE level, Tyler is the person to contact.
You may find that when you go to the polls to vote, you will be voting for the BOE member in another district (i.e., District 8). Some families that are in the LPES school district actually live outside of the BOE District 9. While this is very confusing at times, Tyler Swanson is the representative of LPES and the right person to contact. For questions about advocacy that you want directed to the LPES PTA, please reach out to [email protected]. |
