If approved by 60 percent of the voters on February 14, 2023, the bond measure would repurpose the Oak Harbor Elementary School site for potential early learning and child care community partnerships, which is a growing need in the Oak Harbor Community. The bond proposal includes repurposing the historic building (built in 1931) and the gym/cafeteria (built in 1983), while demolishing the remaining failing structures (built in 1948). The portion of the school that would be demolished is not eligible for renovation because of its poor condition.
