WATCH: St. Johns Schools host bond proposal information session
School officials want neighbors to consider a 7 millage bond that would update buildings for safety and security, build a new early learning center and renovate the Eureka and Riley elementary buildings.
Last May, a 92 million dollar proposal was denied by 109 votes.
St. Johns Public Schools Superintendent Anthony Berthiaume reintroduced the proposal after he said a committee was formed to take critical feedback from the community.
When FOX47 News spoke with Berthiaume in February, he said the proposal’s increase was due to inflation, a fly system for the auditorium and additional enhancements for classrooms.
Now, officials are asking neighbors to continue paying 7 mills for a maximum of 30 years.
