Bay City School Board Meets By Computer And Pushes Back Bond Election Date
March 19, 2020 11:39PM EDT
A proposed Bay City school district bond election originally scheduled for May 5th has now been pushed back to August 4th after a unanimous school board vote March 19th.
Trustees moved the date in hopes of having a better chance to get voters to the polls with the big “if” being whether or not COVID-19 can be neutralized by then.
Superintendent Stephen Bigelow estimates the initiative would raise around $28,500,000 for infrastructure and technology upgrades while replacing existing bonds, meaning no tax increase for district residents.
Board members met by computer as allowed under a recent gubernatorial executive order to maintain social distancing.
