Roseville Community Schools bond election to take place May 5

ROSEVILLE — On May 5, registered voters in Roseville Community Schools will decide on a $175 million bond proposal.

A “yes” vote means the voter supports the ballot initiative and wants it to pass. Those who vote “no” are opposed to the bond. The proposal is a zero-tax-rate-increase bond initiative, and if it passes, it will not increase the current school tax rate for residents.

The bond proposal is designed to update buildings, consolidate facilities, expand early childhood education and improve the learning environments at each grade level. A main component of the bond proposal, according to school officials, is to “rightsize” the district so the school buildings better align with current and future enrollment.

RCS school buildings are currently operating at 46% utilization, which means less than half of the facility is being used by students and staff. According to school officials, the state of Michigan recommends school facilities operate at 85%.
