2026 BOND PROPOSAL
Election Day is November 3, 2026
A Clear Plan for Parchment School District.
This November, Parchment School District voters will consider a $41 million bond proposal that, if approved, would result in an expected 3.95 mills increase in 2027 over the current debt levy.
If approved, the bond proceeds would consolidate the district's footprint and realign how existing school buildings are used.

Key Bond Priorities
Streamlined spending through consolidation
Rather than continuing to spend funds on the aging Middle School facility, the district is proactively choosing to sell or demolish the building. This will eliminate unnecessary operational overhead and redirect those resources directly into the remaining facilities. A new Junior High wing will be added to Parchment High School for 7th and 8th grade students.
