Almont Community Schools is asking the community to consider on a $58.4 million bond proposa to fund additions and updates to its four campus buildings so that the district can provide Almont students with an education in a state-of-the-art learning environment optimized to best serve the needs of different learners.
This bond is expected to reduce the current school millage.
WHAT WOULD BOND APPROVAL MEAN FOR ORCHARD PRIMARY SCHOOL?
Orchard Primary School is 24 years old and much of its equipment, components, and materials are at or near the end of their useful life. This bond would ensure our Orchard Primary School has the upgrades and space it needs to succeed for decades to come.
