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 Eau Claire Public Schools district voters was a successful election in 1999.
Through a recent strategic planning process, The Board of Education and district administration have identified a key goal to be that Eau Claire Public Schools will take pride and ownership of school facilities in order to provide a safe, appealing and welcoming environment to the community. Upgraded facilities that support education for our current and future students will be a major component in achieving this goal.
Due to the size and scale of school buildings, maintenance, updates, and replacement of facilities is costly and often times not possible through the traditional funding received by school districts. Our district has a number of growing needs that require large sums of money to undertake. A bond proposal is the best approach to making the significant updates and improvements needed at EPS.
