2025 School Bond Proposal

Bond Update March 2026

TECHNOLOGY PURCHASE

We want to thank the community for supporting the 2025 Bond. In the winter we purchased new Chromebooks for the elementary students including new Chromebooks for the 5th and 9th grade rotation cycles. Some of the elementary Chromebook have already been installed in the classroom carts and the others will be installed over spring break. Some of the Chromebooks removed from circulation will be used as loaners for students as needed. We are happy with the timing of this purchase, as we were able to save a significant amount of money by getting the Chromebooks before their cost went up due to the chip shortage.

Your commitment plays a vital role in shaping our students’ future and expanding the opportunities available to them. Thank you for being an important partner in helping provide the resources and experiences that allow our students to learn, grow, and succeed.


Zero Mil Renewal

If this bond is approved, it won’t raise your annual tax rate. It will continue the current rate of 3.3 mills you’re already paying

The Stockbridge Community School District is asking the community to consider a bond proposal on November 4,2025. Over the past few months, we’ve met with teachers, staff, coaches, transportation workers, and community members to listen to their ideas and needs.

The projects in this bond are needed to keep up with and improve the quality of services we provide. While consistently working to create more opportunities for students and staff, many of the items are simply about replacing old equipment and fixing areas that need repairs. We’ll spread the purchases from this bond over the next five years so that our students and staff can benefit from these improvements for the next ten years and beyond.

Your vote on November 4, 2025, will help shape the future of our schools and our community.

Smart Investments for Stronger Schools

This bond will fund practical improvements that benefit every part of a student’s day — from safer buildings and updated classrooms to better spaces for learning, playing, and growing. It’s a responsible investment in a safer, stronger school experience for all Panthers.
