The ballot language for the November 7th bond will be out soon. Here is a breakdown of the ballot language so it's easier to understand. The first sheet explains that it's a 0 mill increase and what projects the money is intended for. This will not result in a tax increase. The second sheet shows what happens to the bond over the course of the extension. It begins to go down in 2034 and drops significantly in 2035. The third sheet shows where the money is going towards. The orange bars represent the old debt being paid off. Our mills will remain at 8.3 until 2030 (slight drop) whether the bond passes or not. If the bond passes, the 8.3 continues for three more years to 2033 before it begins to drop. In 2035, it drops significantly to 2.45. Visit jonesvilleschools.org for more information! Go Comets!!!

Good afternoon Comet families! I’m reaching out to you today because of the heat advisory for tomorrow beginning at 11:00 am. The forecast predicts the heat index to reach 105 and that doesn’t include a classroom full of bodies. Consequently, tomorrow Thursday, August 24th will be a half day.
I know half days can be challenge for some families so I do apologize for any inconvenience. However, those temperatures exceed what I’m comfortable with. The football game that is scheduled for tomorrow will be determined by the guidelines set up by MHSAA for heat. Have a good rest of your day and go Comets!
Sincerely,
Erik Weatherwax
Superintendent, Jonesville Community Schools
