The maximum number of years the bonds could be outstanding, exclusive of refunding, is 14 years. If approved, the estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire this bond debt is 2.22 mills. (As the millage needed for the existing debt declines, that millage would be replaced in the later years by what would be needed for the new debt.) Earmarked for this potential project are infrastructure and safety improvements. The high school turns 100 years old this summer and still utilizes the original waste and water lines. The elementary school was built in 1998. The skywalk connecting the two buildings has leaks that create a hazard for students traveling from one building to another and has ice which forms on the uninsulated roof and falls off, endangering those below. There is also ice formation on the side and back steps of the elementary school. The District is constantly working to provide a safe environment for all of its students. Currently, inadequate door latches pose potential safety issues in the high school. Years of different doors being added have created a number of keys required in the buildings. A keyless entry system would provide more security to the facilities. Also, the fire alarm system is in need of updating. (continued on next page) LLHS to Host 100th Year Open House The Lake Linden-Hubbell High School building turns 100 years old this year. In celebration of this milestone, the District will be holding an Open House on Sunday, July 3 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The community is invited to stroll through the building and see the changes that have taken place over the years. Tours will be provided and refreshments will be served. Our Mission: Working together to ensure that all students achieve their maximum potential and contribute to society. S C H O O L Bond Referendum (continued from front page) If this referendum passes, the District would renovate the existing walkway between the two buildings, replace high school entrance doors, update the fire alarm system in all buildings, replace stair treads in the elementary, replace exterior masonry on the high school building, replace the elementary roof, remodel high school locker rooms, remodel first floor restrooms in the high school, add roofs to the side and back elementary entrances, improve the football practice field/playground, renovate the high school concession area to include a commons area, replace some classroom furniture, and replace some kitchen/lunchroom equipment. Other possible projects would include ventilation in the gym and auditorium, an exterior programmable sign, bus purchases, and computer purchases/lab replacements. The school election takes place on Tuesday, August 2, 2016 as part of the primary election. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Throughout the upcoming weeks, the District is committed to providing the community with detailed information on the bond proposal. Please visit our website at www.lakelinden.k12.mi.us for up-to-date information on the proposal and information on community meetings and presentations. Also, feel free to contact Superintendent Craig Sundblad directly at [email protected] or (906) 296-6211.
