Mason Public Schools (MPS) is committed to creating safe, modern learning spaces that match the high-quality education our students receive.

The Mason Public Schools district spans more than 108,000 square miles, and nearly 50% of our students rely on bus transportation for their daily commutes to and from school. In addition, students are transported on our buses to field trips, sporting events, performances and other school events and activities.
This presents significant challenges in providing sufficient space for our transportation and maintenance staff and our fleet of over 20 buses.
If the 2025 bond is approved, we will have the opportunity to create safer working environments for our staff, increase their capacity, and improve our daily operations and overall efficiency.

The Mason High School auditorium is home to student performances, concerts, recognition ceremonies and community events. In the community survey conducted earlier this year, 74% of respondents said they support major renovations and improvements to the high school auditorium and performing arts spaces.
If approved, the proposed 2025 bond would fund renovations to the auditorium, creating an updated and modern facility where students and community members can shine.
