Bond pitch: presenter says renovations, arts center and safety upgrades can be funded without raising property taxes
Summary
A presenter for Grand Blanc Community Schools outlined a proposed tax-increase bond—identified in the transcript as “The 20 26 0 tax increase bond”—to fund renovations to the Perry Center, permanent additions at Cook and Myers elementary schools, districtwide technology and safety upgrades, and a new performing arts center, saying it would not raise property taxes and urging voters to "vote on May 5."
A presenter for Grand Blanc Community Schools outlined a proposed tax-increase bond and said it would fund campus renovations, technology upgrades, and a new performing arts center without increasing property-tax bills.
The presenter said the bond (recorded in the transcript as "The 20 26 0 tax increase bond") would finance renovation of the Perry Center to support district operations and expand early childhood programs, the removal of remaining modular classrooms and construction of permanent additions at Cook and Myers elementary schools, districtwide classroom technology upgrades including replacement of student Chromebooks, and installation of modern safety and security systems. "Most importantly, it will maintain the current millage rate without increasing property taxes," the presenter said.
The presentation emphasized preservation of the historic Perry Center and added that the bond would build "a new performing arts center for our students and community." The transcript does not specify a dollar amount, the formal ballot language, or the bond ordinance number; the presenter’s spoken identifier for the measure appears as "20 26 0," which is unclear in the record.
The presenter closed by urging voters to act on the ballot date: "Remember to vote on May 5." The transcript includes no formal board vote or staff report in this excerpt; it records a single speaker outlining the proposal and asking the community to vote.
Next steps: the presentation invites community members to vote on the measure on May 5; the transcript does not record any final action, a formal motion, or a vote in this excerpt.
