Join us for a facility tour and Q and A about the 2025 bond proposal! This informational session will be held on April 23rd at 6:30pm at Central Elementary.
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.
