📢Coming this November: A revised bond proposal!📢
On November 5, voters in the Plainwell school district will consider an adjusted bond proposal to address continued facilities issues throughout the district:
- Safety & security risks in outdated windows and doors
- Turf & track past their useful life cycles
- Unequal access to gym space and scheduling issues across elementary schools
- High enrollment in our preschool programs, maxing out our aging classrooms
- Existing multi-use spaces are limited
- Inflation outpaced our careful escalation planning on current construction projects
Learn more about the proposal at plainwellschools.org/page/2024-bond.
We are excited to share some interior progress pictures from the bond proposal construction at the new Fieldhouse. Currently, work is underway on the locker rooms and gymnasium floors.
It is so exciting to see this building come together and we look forward to seeing the Trojans compete in the new facility soon! Stay tuned for more updates as progress continues and we near the grand opening.
Our continued thanks to the Plainwell community for voting YES on the 2019 bond proposal!
