On Tuesday, November 5, our community will vote on a $30 million facility bond referendum. If approved, the district will move forward on a series of projects to address our most pressing facility and building needs. These projects would include: ➡️ Renovations and improvements at all district facilities ➡️ Deferred maintenance improvements ➡️ Safe and secure building renovations An approved bond would have no tax impact on district residents. This is possible due to other district bond levies ending. Learn more and find answers to frequently asked questions: https://lnkd.in/gVAh3PWE

A question was recently asked about the type of projects the pool and football field need. Included are pictures of the current state of the FMS pool, the costing, and some pictures for illustrative purposes of some public school district pools that have been recently redone and repaired. Those pictures will not be the final repairs for the Fridley Middle School pool. For example, the Brainerd Warriors pool contains a separate dive well. This would not be the case for Fridley Public Schools. You can find information regarding the athletics improvements needed and the stadium work. You will see the repairs needed and different proposal options that would be considered if/when funding is available to do this work.

The most recent operating referendum for Fridley Public Schools was in 2019. This was to revoke and replace an existing levy of $187.43 per pupil and replace it with a new levy of $497.43 per pupil for the next 10 years. On Tuesday, November 5, our community will vote on a new operating levy. This would enable the district to maintain stable funding and invest in programs and services for students. The operating levy authority provided through an approved vote would be $424 per pupil, which would expire at the end of the 2035-36 fiscal year.
