Fruitport Community Schools (FCS) has failed to pass a bond proposal in Tuesday’s election that targeted expanding early education programming and renovating one of the district’s existing elementary buildings.
Voters in the Allendale Public Schools district have rejected a bond proposal for the second time. The 88-million-dollar bond had two-thousand-392 “no” votes and one-thousand-661 “yes” votes. Superintendent Dr. Garth Cooper says they are “disappointed that we won’t be able to deliver on that to our kids,” but adds the community has spoken. The money was planned for a multi-purpose fieldhouse, a new STEM building, adding more classrooms, and expanding the high school cafeteria.
