6 new schools, 20 years of work: Inside Dearborn’s $1.5B bond proposal

Dearborn Public Schools' $1.5 billion bond proposal, aimed at replacing or remodeling all schools over 20 years, will appear on the November ballot after school board approval. The bond includes a 3.14-mill increase offset by lower city debt millage and elimination of an existing school operating millage, with claims of no tax increase for most homeowners. If approved, six new preschool-through-eighth-grade schools will be built, and the district warns of potential cuts to teaching and learning if the bond fails.
