FAQ: Why is the bond proposal ballot language so long?
Michigan law requires school bond ballot language to include specific details so voters have clear, complete information before casting a vote. By law, the ballot must disclose items such as the total amount to be borrowed, how long the bonds may be repaid, how the funds may be used, and the estimated tax impact.
In addition to meeting these legal requirements, MAPS chose to clearly list the elements of the proposed plan to be as transparent as possible with the community. The detailed language is intended to help voters understand exactly what is being proposed, how the funds could be used, and how the district plans to address facility needs if the bond is approved.

FAQ: When would work begin if the bond passes?
If the community approves the bond proposal in May of 2026, then work would most likely start in the summer of 2027, as you can see in the preliminary, conceptual project schedule. The architects and engineers would work with relevant stakeholders to determine the final design aspects. All school designs must be approved by the Bureau of Construction Codes and the Bureau of Fire Safety. We will continue to update the community as the process progresses.

Did You Know...
that MAPS has one of the LOWEST millage rates in our area? The chart illustrates the comparison of local school districts in the UP. MAPS' administration and Board of Education have worked hard to remain fiscally responsible to taxpayers, and have not gone to bond for capital projects in 10 years.
