Brand New K-5 72,000 square foot state of the art facility located behind HS Gym
We were notified in May that we were one of the select schools in the state approved for
Partnership Funding in the amount of $12,751,334.26. Many were denied.
To access PF funds, we must come up with our share. Project cost is estimated to be
between $25-27 million. We have $6.1 million saved in building fund and need another
$7.4 million.
We will have a Special Election on November 18 th to ask our patrons to approve
restructuring our existing debt with NO INCREASE in our current millage. Only an
extension of the current rate of 39.0. This would generate $7,440,000 for the project.
Our current millage of 39.0 is actually below the State Average.
Building will be equipped with a Secure Single Entry System, Video Surveillance, and
Safe Room (which we will share with our community when students are not present).
The core of our current elementary was built in the 1960’s and added on to many times
over the years. It has served us well but has many “old building problems” which are
costly to repair (plumbing, roofs, HVAC, etc.).
We believe our new building will be a deserving addition to our wonderful community
and be something that everyone will be proud of. It would be awesome for our “little
people” to build their academic foundation is a new facility with the latest technology and
safety features.
