There are current discussions occurring, as there have been for many years, on strategies to address Freeland School’s space and infrastructure needs as well as our aging buildings. That being said, the Freeland Community School District would like to provide the following update:
There is no bond proposal on the ballot in November and there will be no proposal on the ballot in May.
The District would not rush into a bond proposal without having spent time considering alternate avenues, working with professionals, obtaining accurate costs, and getting feedback from the staff and community. You should only expect a bond proposal to be brought forward by the Board of Education after open communication with the community.
The District has not verified any monetary numbers or statements being made by any independent bond proposal being shared in the community.
Freeland is currently one of very few debt free school districts in the State of Michigan, saving individual taxpayers hundreds of dollars every year.
Due to sound fiscal management and decision making, the District continues to be in good financial shape, as verified by the June 30, 2022, audit.
Though important, District facilities are just a small part of what the Freeland Schools provides for this community and our children. Please know that what goes on inside the walls of our schools is much more important on a daily basis than any conversations about the walls themselves. We offer an excellent education for the children of Freeland and will continue to do so.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
