Saginaw Township Community Schools' Bond Proposal on May Ballot Defeated
The Saginaw Township Community Schools Board of Education placed a $242.9 million bond proposal on the May 2, 2023 ballot. The bond
asked to finance improvements at all school facilities and included revenue for demolishing three aging circular classroom pods and constructing a new Academic and
Arts facility at Heritage High School. Results of the vote show the bond proposal was unsuccessful.
“Of course we are disappointed that the school district’s bond proposal was unsuccessful,” said district Superintendent Bruce Martin. “We plan to assess the election
results before deciding our next steps. We will evaluate all bond proposal projects by engaging the staff and community and then update our plan to address facility needs. I
want to assure parents, other members of the community, and school staff that, despite this setback, we will continue moving forward and will work together to provide a quality educational experience for all students and other members of the community. Thank you to everyone for their continued support.”
The Saginaw Township Community Schools (STCS) is comprised of eight (8) elementary, middle and high schools within Saginaw Township, Michigan and serves
nearly 4,800 students.
