The Twin Falls School District (TFSD) has achieved a significant financial milestone by paying off bonds used for critical infrastructure projects a full year ahead of schedule. Originally authorized by voters in 2006 for $49,705,000, the bonds were set to be repaid by 2025. Through strategic financial planning and fiscal responsibility, the district has successfully paid them off in 2024.
“This achievement underscores our commitment to being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars,” said Dr. Brady Dickinson, Superintendent of Schools. “Paying off these bonds early not only saves the community money in interest costs but also reflects our dedication to sound financial practices.”
The funding from the bonds facilitated numerous transformative projects across the district, including:
Construction of Canyon Ridge High School, a 243,342-square-foot facility with 58 classrooms and state-of-the-art athletic facilities on a 60-acre campus. The school, which opened for the 2009-10 academic year, has since served nearly 10,000 students.
Construction of gymnasiums at all elementary schools, enhancing physical education opportunities for students.
Other critical infrastructure improvements district-wide.
Canyon Ridge High School remains a centerpiece of the district’s commitment to providing quality education and facilities for students. Its expansive campus includes football fields, softball and baseball fields, a track, soccer fields, and tennis courts, creating opportunities for both academic and extracurricular excellence.
The district expresses its gratitude to the community for their continued support and trust in making these projects possible.
