Why does the district need a bond proposal?
Many school districts in the State of Michigan typically seek approval for bond proposals every 5-10 years. This allows for significant improvements to occur and keep district facilities current. The last bond proposal brought to the Parchment School District voters was a successful election over 15 years ago.

If the bond proposal is approved, the district will be able to sell bonds in the amount of $36.4 million resulting in a 2.95 mill increase over the current millage rate of 7.01 mills. However, the district does not intend to seek renewal of the 1.93 mill sinking fund resulting in a net increase of 1.02 mills over the total 2024 levy.
