For School Districts

Comprehensive Voter Approval Assessment

Know You’ll Pass Your Bond, Referendum, or Millage the First Time

Did your district recently spend a year or more developing and promoting a bond, referendum, or millage request, only for it to be voted down and now you need to start all over again? Unfortunately, once you have failed one bond, referendum, or millage request, it becomes even harder to pass the next one.

Perspectives’ Comprehensive Voter Approval Assessment will help your district pass your next bond, referendum, or millage request. We will show you exactly what improvements and programs your voters will support and how to attract and grow support.

Stronger Relationships

One of the most common reasons a bond, referendum, or millage fails is because voters feel like there is a lack of communication and transparency from the school district. Our Comprehensive Voter Approval Assessment allows voters to share their thoughts and opinions about your district, creating a communication channel that will foster a stronger relationship between the district and your voters.

A Clear Path Forward

It can feel like a shot in the dark trying to determine what it is that your voters will support. Our Comprehensive Voter Approval Assessment offers a series of choices your voters can select from, making your voters feel like their voices are being heard, and giving you a clear idea of what your voters are willing to support.

A Passed Bond, Referendum, or Millage

By building stronger relationships with the community and gaining a clear idea of what donors want and will support, our Comprehensive Voter Approval Assessment will give you the trusted research and recommendations you will need to pass your next bond, referendum, or millage.

What our Clients Have to Say

  • "After having several bond proposals get defeated, we decided to focus on learning more about our community and what our voters might support.  Perspectives helped us with this effort, and we ended up passing our bond in the spring of 2023.  Gary and Bryn are easy to work with, and their work provided the detail our district needed to make important and strategic decisions."
