BCS District Update -

Thank you to those families who came to meet with teachers and discuss your child's progress during parent-teacher conferences last month! As educators, we value the partnership we have with the families of the students we serve.

If you have additional questions/concerns regarding your child, please reach out to their school staff.

At their Regular Meeting on July 24, 2023, Bronson's Board of Education approved a Sinking Fund Resolution which includes ballot language for the renewal of the current sinking fund for voters to consider on the November ballot. The proposed renewal would renew the sinking fund at the current Tax Rate (1.9766 mills) to generate approximately $460,000/year, if collected.

Click the button below for information about the Sinking Fund Renewal Proposal.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with additional questions you might have regarding this proposal. My contact information can be found at the bottom of this update.

At the October 2nd Board meeting, the Board of Education decided that the Milliman Trust funds would be put into an interest-bearing account at this time (with additional funds from the general fund). This decision may need clarification, as the rationale was not explicitly shared.

A Sinking Fund Millage Renewal is up for voter consideration on November 7, 2023. If the renewal does not pass, we will need additional funds within the district to address needs that the sinking fund millage renewal could have addressed. Therefore, the board decided the funds from the Milliman Trust would stay within the district in a capital, interest-bearing account until after the sinking fund millage renewal proposal. After November 7, we will begin our analysis and plan to coordinate funding sources to meet the needs of our students and the intended purposes by prioritizing the needs of the district and using input from the completed survey.

Should you have additional questions about this, or other funding sources, please reach out directly to Superintendent Wall:
