The St. Joseph Public Schools in Berrien County will put forth a bond proposal on the November ballot.
The School Board voted on Monday to place a $59.9 million dollar bond proposal in front of district voters at the Nov. 4 election. WSJM reports the measure is structured as a zero-mill increase over the prior year’s levy — in other words, it’s intended to fund projects without raising the current millage rate.
School officials say if it’s approved, the bond would finance a number of upgrades. It was designed with extensive community input after a similar effort failed in May of last year.
