Project is community-driven with no rate increase

A $20.275 million bond issue okayed February 22 by the Zeeland Board of Education is designed to handle growth needs without increasing the 6.63 millage levy. 

"This plan is community driven and handles continued growth during tough economic times," Superintendent Gary Feenstra said. "We feel it provides what's best for children."

The bond proposal is based on four key areas.  
1. Growth.  We’ve gained 600 students in the last five years alone.

2.  A clear path ahead. Our community told us they want to see kindergarten returned to our elementary buildings. and clearly defined path of how their children move through elementary, middle school, and high school. 

3. The need for instructional technology improvements.

4.  Safety and security for students and staff.
