District outlines plans for former Orscheln building 

During its Feb. 25 meeting, the School Board approved purchasing the building at M-58 Highway and Foxridge Drive. The facility, which has been vacant for several years, formerly housed the Orscheln Farm and Home store.

The District plans to use the facility, which has about 41,000 square feet, to provide additional opportunities for students in the area of career oriented education and real world education experiences.

Career education is an important component of Proposition S, which is the $72 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue on the April 6 ballot for Ray-Pec voters. If approved, the proceeds from the bond issue will help pay for the purchase of this facility and implementation of career education programs (such as HVAC, electrical, and others), as well as the expansion of Real World Learning opportunities.

The bond issue would support priorities identified in the recently-adopted long-range facility planLearn more about the projects included in Proposition S: Read more
