On May 7, 2024, PCS will be pursuing a NO TAX RATE INCREASE bond proposal to continue to improve our facilities and prioritize the educational experiences of our students, families and staff.
Did you know that the current tennis courts are nearing the end of their expected lifecycle and have cracks that cannot be fully repaired? In an effort to improve playability and player safety, the bond proposal includes a full replacement of our aging tennis courts. These new courts would be located at the same site as the current courts, built with new tennis court construction methods and are expected to have a longer lifecycle than the previous tennis courts.
Read more about the proposed tennis courts and the 2024 bond proposal by visiting plainwellschools.org/page/2024-bond.
