Many Hillsdale County residents will head to the polls on May 5th to vote on school bond proposals or millage renewals.
Reading Community Schools is seeking approval to replace a previous sinking fund millage with a new one, allowing the district to raise about $398,000 per year for five years. The funds would be used for school security, technology upgrades, transportation, and maintaining school facilities.
Hillsdale Community Schools and North Adams-Jerome Schools are asking voters to renew their operating millages.
The proposals include a $14.8-million bond for the Columbia School District, which would fund new school buildings, renovations, and playground improvements. The Columbia School District includes portions of Somerset Township.
The Hanover-Horton School District, which includes parts of Moscow and Somerset Townships, wants to borrow up to $3.9 million to remodel and upgrade facilities.
