Fowlerville Community School District is hoping to build a new elementary school and install air conditioning in existing buildings beginning next year.
The district hopes to do so with a $37.8 million bond proposal that goes before voters on May 4. School officials say the proposal will not increase property taxes.
Here are four things to know before the election.
What improvements will be made if the bond proposal passes?
Fowlerville Superintendent Wayne Roedel said there are multiple phases to the project.
First, air conditioning would be installed in Kreeger Elementary and Fowlerville Junior High School. The district also plans to upgrade the electrical system in the high school to install air conditioning in a future bond proposal.
