Facility audits, safety studies (2-3 years ago), and survey results compiled during the August strategic planning process all revealed such a need for improvement, that it was evident the District should address some facilities issues. Back in October, the District held three (3) public forums to share
information and to gather input regarding a building project that will
primarily affect the high school campus, Lemmer Elementary, Webster
Elementary, Soo Hill Elementary, and to some extent, the bus garage. On December 14, 2009, the Escanaba Area School Board voted their approval (7-0) to approve a resolution to move forward with a bond proposal.
In this blog post, I'm attaching a document that provides some information about the scope of this project. In addition, a nifty tax calculator tool is available for our citizens to use, so that individuals and families can actually see how the passing of the bond issue will affect what they pay for taxes. This tool was demonstrated at the board meeting on Monday, and it is quite slick. The link to this site is:

The bond proposal will address safety, energy efficiencies, as well as instructional needs. Please review the document for more information.
