Bond Updates

 
A school bond issue was passed by voters in the November 2018 election. Since then, the school board and administration have been busy investing in the future of Perry Public Schools. The $25 million bond package covers construction of the new junior high building and the Maroon Athletic Center, and also focuses on upgrading school facilities, technology, transportation, academics, safety and security.
 
Bond project updates are posted below and progress photos will continue to be added to this page throughout the bond cycle. 
 
Update - August 2022 
A promised bond-funded project was a necessary renovation to the aging roof at the Perry Upper Elementary School. As of August 25, 2022 they sprayed a protective silicone coating to repair and seal problem areas, minimize leaks, lower energy costs, and extend the life of the roof. Plus, it gives it a much-needed fresh, new look! Pictured here is one of three coats that will be applied.

Tuesday, November 6, 2018 Election:
 
There were two School Bond propositions on the November 6, 2018 ballot totaling $25,475,000 million worth of improvements to the Perry Public Schools. 
  • Proposition one included a new Perry Junior High School on 15th Street, a new Perry Maroon Athletic Center, and secure entrances for the Perry Upper and Lower Elementary Schools.  It will also provide new textbooks, technology equipment, and software licenses for all school sites; new security systems district-wide; and renovations including a new roof and exterior windows for the Upper Elementary, new field house at Daniels Field and band room updates. 
  • Proposition two provided new buses and school vehicles, allowing the school district to establish a fleet rotation schedule for the vehicles.
 
The two school bond propositions both passed. The proposition for the new junior high school and athletic center won 1,719 yes to 810 no. The second proposition for school transportation passed 1,737-788.
