Good morning everyone. At a time when good news seems to be at a premium I wanted to let everyone know that USD 290 has finalized a bond refinance that will save taxpayers $9.6 million dollars over the life of our construction bonds! It also allows us to complete bond payments 4 years in advance zeroing our bond balance in 2036 instead of 2040! Thank you USD 290 patrons for providing such incredible spaces for our kids and our community!

Riley Meyerkorth has certified in the PAC! Riley was able to quickly and accurately complete his assessment. Riley's scenario was an unamplified performance. Even with no microphones, Riley had to move audio and video through the system. Congrats Riley!


Our third student has certified in the PAC! Congratulations Erin Smith on completing your PAC training, we are excited to have you work your first performance in the near future. Erin completed her scenario based test in record time, with high accuracy!



And just like that, we have TWO certified PAC technicians! Congratulations Alex Chidster on completing your scenario based testing! Our students will be prepared to host outside entities at the PAC in the near future...stay tuned!



Our first student technician has completed training and testing in the Performing Arts Center. Congrats Justin Dennison on passing your certification exam! We are excited for you to work your first event in March!
