HSHS Weekly Update 11/12/21
HSPS No-Tax Increase Bond Proposal – Our school district is preparing to place a no tax-rate increase bond proposal on the May 2022 ballot. During November, the District is inviting staff, parents, and community members to give their input prior to finalizing ballot language for the proposal in December. All HSPS community members are invited to view a 5-minute video about the bond projects under consideration. After viewing the video, please participate in a brief survey developed by an independent Michigan-based survey research firm. Your confidential responses to the survey will provide valuable information that will help the Board of Education finalize the ballot proposal that will be on the May 2022 ballot. The video and survey are open through midnight on Saturday, November 27th. Please help us by viewing the video and completing the survey during that period.
