Committee members are evaluating the requests to ultimately determine a potential Bond 2025 package recommendation to RISD trustees later in May. Trustees would then evaluate the recommendation and decide if a bond election would be placed before RISD voters in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about items requested by RISD departments, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.risd.org\/home\/risd-bond-steering-committee-meets\/\">see the April 14 meeting summary<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.risd.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BSC-April-28-2025-Final.pdf\">See the April 28 meeting presentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.risd.org\/home\/2025-bond-steering-committee\/\">Learn more about the community bond steering committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The committee hopes to arrive at recommendations for RISD Trustees to consider in May.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.risd.org\/home\/2025-bond-steering-committee\/\">Learn more about the RISD Bond Steering Committee<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The RISD bond steering committee met on April 28 to continue its work of evaluating district bond needs over the next five year cycle. <\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":4,"featured_media":2136,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[664,694,360],"class_list":["post-35020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-bond","tag-bond-2025","tag-budgetplanning"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
