Allendale Public Schools has two zero-millage-rate increase bond proposals that, if approved, would fund improvements and additions throughout the district.
Proposal One, known as the “School Safety, Facilities, Equipment, and Site Improvements Bond Proposal,” focuses on renovations, improvements, and additions to existing facilities.
Proposal Two, known as the “Allendale Bond Proposal,” focuses on the construction of a new, stand-alone multi-purpose building east of the high school, designed to serve both school and community needs.
After two previous requests failed, the district sought extensive community feedback in the hopes of passing this latest proposal, the third such request in three years.
If Proposal One passes, the tax rate would remain at 10.06 mills for an additional five years. If Proposal Two passes, it would extend the 10.06-mill rate for an additional two years. If both measures are approved, the 10.06-mill rate would continue through 2042 before dropping substantially.
