QUINCY, MI (WTVB) – Quincy Community Schools has scheduled two information meetings on their May 5 $60 million ballot proposal.
According to Superintendent John Denney, the meetings will include a summary of facility needs, an overview of proposed projects, financial impact information, and building tours.
Quincy’s bond proposal will appear as a 5.3 mill increase on the ballot. With other existing debt being paid off, Denney says the net increase for voters would be around 4.5 mills.
The bond plan, developed after an assessment revealed an immediate need for $8.7 million in critical repairs, focuses on renovating existing structures rather than building new schools.
Plans include:
- Demolishing the existing 1931 middle school building to create a new parking lot.
- Converting the old middle school gymnasium into a “cafetorium” with a kitchen and stage.
- Renovating the current high school to accommodate middle school administration and science labs.
- Adding a new two-story classroom building and gymnasium at the high school.
- Building a new bus garage and expanding parking at Jennings Elementary.
The meetings will be held Monday, March 2 in the Jennings Elementary School Cafeteria and Thursday, March 12 in the Middle School Cafeteria. Both of the meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m.
