Q: Are there still buses in the bond project?
A: Yes. Our bus fleet is an aging fleet that requires increasing and costly repairs to keep them safely on the road.
Did you know G-A's oldest running bus is 21 years old?

Bus runs to EFE and YAP will run today.
Childcare at the Primary School will also be CLOSED.
Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools will be closed today, October 25, 2021, due to a power outage.
Why does Galesburg-Augusta need additional classroom space?
Additional classroom space at the Primary School means returning 4th grades to the PS and 8th grades to the MS. It will open space back up at the High School for needed programs!

2021 Bond Proposal - Athletic Facility
The site at the HS was created to support a new athletic facility. And it's not just for football. We have students who play soccer, perform in marching band, softball, tennis, baseball, and who are required to take fitness and health in our PE classes. Currently, there are no bathrooms outside for anyone’s use and we must bus all our groups of students to the Primary on game days. Imagine loading up all our marching band equipment into a trailer, taking it to the old field, performing at half time and throughout the game, loading the equipment all backup, busing band students back to the High School, and then unloading all the instruments again. Our students deserve to walk outside their band room and head onto the field! This facility will be utilized by all our high school students, many middle students, and by community members who would like a safe place to walk.

Q. Why is the Galesburg-Augusta School Board placing the bond project on the November 2, 2021 ballot?
A. The needs represented in the bond project have not gone away.
After the election, many community members attended the regular board meeting and felt strongly that we need to try again for the benefit of today’s students and our future Rams.
What are the needs that students have at Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools?

We may be a small district, but our high school students still need experiential learning opportunities that increase their preparedness for life after graduation. Having the flexible space of a multi-purpose facility will allow our high school staff to add such things as: large group presentations related to health and safety, career and technical education options throughout the county, job fairs, college application/FAFSA nights, fine arts celebrations, large group projects, robotic competitions, music, speech, theatre, debate, and additional P.E. classes.
We need space for indoor marching band practice, flag corp practice, sideline cheer and to start a competitive cheer program.
It will also be available for after-school programming including various sports team practices.
