Background information
School officials worked with architectural and construction management specialists to determine immediate facility needs and program upgrades to identify bond proposal projects. Identified projects were grouped into four categories:
- Enhancing safety and security
- Enhancing arts and athletics
- Improving instructional spaces and technology
- Improving infrastructure and school sites
Due to the financial history of spending down the 2005 bond funds, the district is able to ask the community for a new proposal with a no tax rate increase to residents. The district has worked to develop a bond proposal to address the facility needs of the district and support the learning process for both students and staff.

Will the Bond Proposal Increase my current Tax Rate?
No. L'Anse Creuse Public Schools will extend the current tax rate for the entirety of the bond, which is not projected to increase the tax rate to complete the projects.
