PROPOSED PROJECTS

KEEPING STUDENTS WARM, SAFE + DRY

Our Parchment facilities are well maintained but require significant renovations to ensure safe, warm, and dry learning environments. Since the current budget cannot cover these costs, we have an opportunity this May to secure 36.4 million in bond funds with a 2.95 mill increase, offset by not renewing the 1.93 mill sinking fund - resulting in only a net 1.02 mill increase.

Our hope is to minimize the tax impact for Parchment residents while addressing district "needs, not wants." The projects would not take from general fund money, so student programming can continue to be our priority.

SAFETY + SECURITY UPGRADES

CAMPUS INFRASTRUCTURE + OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS
