QUINCY,MI (WTVB) – The Quincy Community Schools Board of Education last night approved submitting a Pre-Qualification Application to the Michigan State Treasury Department to move forward with a potential multi-million dollar bond proposal.
This was the next step to get the proposal on the ballot for voters to consider in May.
Superintendent John Denney says the plan is to have Pre-Qualification Application to the Treasury in early January, and they hope to have ballot language approved at the January board meeting.
The plan focuses on renovating existing structures. Proposed projects include demolishing the 1931 middle school, converting the old middle school gym into a “cafetorium,” renovating the current high school to include middle school administration and science labs, and adding a new classroom building and gymnasium at the high school.
This bond issue would be the last of the four school systems in the county to propose a major facility overhaul. The estimated property tax increase for the median homeowner is approximately $386.75 per year, or 4.55 mills.
