Fitzgerald Public Schools conducted a comprehensive review of all school facilities as part of its strategic planning process. School district leaders collaborated with architects and construction professionals to assess both short- and long-term building needs.
Key focus areas included:
✔️ Enhancing safety and security
✔️ Improving educational spaces and technology
✔️ Upgrading infrastructure and school sites
The school district also gathered input through focus groups with families, staff, students, and community members, as well as an open community survey. Once the project list and estimated costs were finalized, the proposal was submitted to the Michigan Department of Treasury for review and approval. Following state approval, the Board of Education placed the ZERO-tax-rate increase bond proposal on the August 5 ballot.

A bond is a state-approved way for schools to fund major projects, like building upgrades, safety improvements, and technology enhancements. If voters approve a bond, the school district will sell bonds and use the funds for the approved projects.
The ZERO-tax-rate increase bond proposal means that projects can be done without increasing the current tax rate.
