Community Supports 2024 Bond Referendum
Building a New Foundation: GMG Community School District Set for Lasting Legacy with Successful Referendum
On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, voters in the GMG Community School District considered a one-question bond referendum in the amount of $12,300,000. Following the vote, the unofficial election results are 654 YES (66.3%) and 332 NO (33.7%).
Superintendent Chris Petersen expressed his gratitude to the community for their support:
“We are excited to announce the successful passage of this referendum, allowing us to replace the outdated portion of the Middle School/High School with a new, fully ADA-compliant 22,000 square foot building. This upgrade includes modern electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, as well as a new commons area and media center. These improvements will create a safe and inclusive learning environment that supports the needs of all our students.”
Next steps include continued design and engineering work with our project partner SitelogIQ.
The district will continue to keep the community informed on the progress of current and future facility projects.
BACKGROUND:
The referendum will include one key question: approval to build an addition to the middle/high school, replacing the portion of the building constructed in 1925. LEARN MORE HERE!
