May 3, 2011 Election/Bond Vote

Nick Ceglarek & Art Bolt reviewed the Bond Proposal for the Bond Vote scheduled for May 3, 2011.    This plan is based on a 5-year projection for growth.  Proposal includes:

• New 9+ building next to the current High School.
• This building could sustain as its “own” high school in the future, but we are not there yet.
• New South Elem. Building off of Greenly
• New Competition Pool & Fine Arts Center
• New Transportation Facility
• Current Freshman Campus to become an Early Childhood Center
• Tech. Upgrades
• Upgrades to Athletic Facilities

No MIL increase with this proposal – 7MIL rate stays the same

May 3 Bond/Election Ballot Items:

• Operating Millage Renew-Need a YES
• Bond Proposal Request- Need a YES
• School Board Members

Occupancy Time:

• New South Building:  Fall 2013
• New 9+ Building:  Fall 2014/2015
• ECC Building:  Fall 2015

There is serious concern with the Governor’s proposed budget cuts for K-12.  This proposal would put our district into possible crisis mode.  A call was put out to contact our Representatives today!  If you are interested in finding out about these issues, please visit:
