One of the goals of the 2019 Bond Proposal is to create resilient schools prepared to adapt to climate change. Find out how the 2019 Bond is designed to chart a course towards carbon neutrality here.
Did you know state law requires bond funds to be spent on capital projects and infrastructure, in fact the law makes it illegal for local districts to raise funds for operations, including teacher salaries and benefits. At the same time AAPS received $313 less in per pupil funding in the 2018-19 school year compared to the 2008-09 year. This proposal is designed so general fund dollars won't be diverted for facility repairs.
Come learn more about the proposal at 2019 Bond Information Superintendent Community Meetings. They take place Tuesday, October 22nd at the Ann Arbor District Library Westgate Branch at 2 PM; Thursday, October 24th at the downtown library at 7 PM; a Facebook Live event on Wednesday, October 30th at noon; and at the Westerman Preschool and Family Center on Friday, November 1st at 8:30 AM. More information including a video of the presentation and a schedule of additional meetings is available at a2schools.org/2019 bond.
