DeWitt Public Schools kicks off its bond campaign today, asking voters to approve a $25.2 million proposal on November 8th.
The bond proposal doesn't increase the tax rate. It extends DeWitt's current millage rate for five more years.
DeWitt Schools says the money would go to the district's most pressing needs, and educators will talk to the community about those needs tonight.
If approved on the November ballot, the $25.2 million millage would be used to fix space and safety problems, as well as address technology needs.
The district says money would go to new roofing, floors, windows, age-appropriate playgrounds and more, as well as tech upgrades like more computers and mobile devices.
The DeWitt student body is growing, so bond money would also go towards additional classroom space.
The superintendent and other educators will be at a forum tonight, sponsored by "Yes DeWitt," a community group who wants to see this bond pass.
Open to the public, the forum is at 7 p.m. at DeWitt High School's commons.
