FPS School Bond Proposal - Election Tuesday • March 10, 2020

On Tuesday, March 10, 2020, voters in the Farmington Public School District will be asked
to consider a $98 million ballot proposal to finance: Safety & Security, Infrastructure & Equipment, Technology Integration, Outdoor Site Improvements, & Buses.

• The bond projects a DECREASE in the current debt millage rate of 3.30 to 3.20 for homeowners compared to 2019. Property owners are expected to pay a lower rate for school debt millage. Farmington Public Schools holds one of the lowest debt millages in Oakland County.
• The bond is for $98 million dollars to be sold in two series - 2020 and 2023; each series
is for 20 years.
• The bond is based on priorities determined by the 2019 Facilities Study: there will not be any duplication of work that was completed with the 2015 bond.
