ADRIAN — The Adrian school district is planning a series of public meetings for anyone who would like to ask questions or get more information about the district’s upcoming bond proposal.

The proposal is for a 0.65-mill levy that would fund the construction of a new community recreational facility at Adrian High School, just north of the Julianne and George Argyros Performing Arts Center. It would also fund updates to the performing arts center, which was built in 2007.

The school board voted in January to approve sending the bond proposal to voters in a special election to take place May 5.

• Thursday, Feb. 19 at 6 p.m. in the media center at Adrian High School, 785 Riverside Ave.
• Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club, 340 E. Church St.
• Thursday, March 5 at 6 p.m. in the Adrian High School Media Center.
• Wednesday, March 11 at 6 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club.

The purpose of the proposed facility would be to provide year-round space for both school and community events, as well as additional practice space for school sports, band, cheerleading, and dance. It is also intended to support youth recreation programs and contribute to economic activity by hosting tournaments and other events.

The proposed updates to the performing arts center include seating, lighting, carpeting, and other furnishings.

The cost is estimated at approximately $27.5 million, with the estimated tax impact for a home valued at $200,000 being $65 per year or $5.42 per month.

The election is for voters in the Adrian school district, which includes most of the city of Adrian and portions of several surrounding townships. The school district is separate from any county, city or township government.
