Voters within the Coleman Public Schools district will head to the polls on November 18th to consider an adjusted school bond proposal totaling $800,000. The proposal seeks funds for essential facility improvements, including the construction of a safe room.
Coleman School District's boundaries are split across both Atoka and Johnston County lines. The district reports significant recent growth, with enrollment increasing from 147 students in 2019–2020 to 286 students today, marking a 97% growth rate over the last five years.
Key Components of the Adjusted Bond This current proposal is a reduction from a previous $1,400,000 bond request that was not approved by voters. The new bond, which has a 10year term, focuses on critical needs, with the district committing to pay the remaining amount of the overall project costs from its own building fund as money allows.
