PROPOSED PROJECTS

On November 3, 2026, Parchment voters will consider a $41 million bond proposal.

 

The plan consolidates the district's footprint by closing the middle school and transitioning to dedicated grade-level centers with age-appropriate learning environments.

 

If approved, funds will transition Northwood to a K–2 building, expand North Elementary to a 3–6 configuration, and construct a new, separate 7th- and 8th-grade wing at the high school.

 

This proposal represents an expected
3.95 mill tax increase.
