A bond proposal, if approved, would mean major renovations at Houghton-Portage Township Schools.
The school district held a Community Forum Wednesday to outline the $8.69 million project.
The project would include upgrades to instructional technology, security improvements and building enhancements, energy conservation measures and a complete overhaul of the outdoor athletic facilities.
Superintendent Doreen Klingbeil says athletics are important to the students and the culture of the school.
The district wants to install a new artificial turf football field and replace the track, plus build new a new scoreboard, bleachers and concession stand.
A brand new baseball field would also be built, along with improvements to the existing softball field.
Details of the bond referendum can be found on the district’s website, and the public is encouraged to learn what the project would mean for the schools and the community.
The proposal will be on the ballot on May 3rd.
