During the workshop, Superintendent Vicki Thomas and her staff made a proposal to raise approximately $45.3 million in bonds to finance improvements to the current campus instead of a complete overhaul of the facilities.

If approved, the money could come from $52.3 million in Qualified School Construction Bonds allocated to Fayetteville by the State shortly after the millage increase was rejected by voters in September by a 63 percent margin.
