It passed! Thank you, everyone!
Help us MAINTAIN and PROLONG THE LIFE of our facilities!
After multiple attempts at larger bonds to best support our District's current and future students, we have narrowed this proposal to the most crucial and urgent needs. The Coleman community has been a dedicated steward of the Jr/Sr High School building for nearly 50 years, maintaining and prolonging its life. However, after 50 years, while the Jr/Sr High building has updated boilers and roof, the electrical and heating systems no longer function in a manner that is most efficient and fiscally responsible- as you would expect from something facilities with this lifespan. It is imperative that we update now for our current needs and safety and to improve the school for generations to come. Investing in the Jr/Sr High School benefits our community by improving the facilities, providing stronger safety measures and greater instructional opportunities for our students, to better match neighboring districts as students look at their options. These investments help attract and retain students and families to Coleman and are attractive to highly qualified applicants, breathing new life into our community which can have a positive impact on property values and local business.
