💡 Myth vs Fact: 2025 Bond Proposal 💡
We’ve heard some questions and concerns about the upcoming 2025 bond proposal, so we wanted to clear the air. Here’s a quick look at a few common myths—and the facts you need to know.
❌ Myth #1: This bond will raise my taxes.
✅ Fact: Not true! The bond is a zero mill increase, which means the tax rate will stay at 2.41 mills—still one of the lowest in the area. The way our current debt is structured allows us to address important facility needs without increasing your tax rate.
❌ Myth #2: Rising property values mean I’ll pay more.
✅ Fact: Property values are set by your local government, NOT the school district. While adjusted property values can change the dollar amount you pay per mill, the bond itself does not increase the tax rate.
❌ Myth #3: The district can use bond money for anything it wants.
✅ Fact: By law, bond funds must be used strictly for facilities and infrastructure, not for salaries or operating expenses. This includes:
• Renovating classrooms and updating HVAC systems
• Improving safety and security, like secure entrances, updated locks, and modern fire alarms
• Expanding gym and community spaces
We hope this clears up some of the confusion! The 2025 bond proposal is about making our schools safe, modern, and welcoming spaces for students while also providing community benefits.

A huge shout out to last week’s Middle School Athletes of the Week: Grettel Vera-Rangel and Wyatt Raglin!
Grettel is a 7th grader on the Middle School Cross Country team and she has started the season off fast! She has put in a lot of hard work over the summer and has dominated all of her races so far this season! We are very excited to see what else she can accomplish this year.
Wyatt is also a 7th grader on the Middle School Cross Country team. He had a great race at the Sparta Invitational, and an even tougher race at Big Rapids. He has been working hard at practice while always putting a smile on his teammate’s faces! It’s always a joy to have Wyatt on the team.
Congratulations, Grettel and Wyatt!

Please see the attached statement from Chippewa Hills Superintendent Michelle Newman regarding today's lockdown at the High School and Middle School complex.
UPDATE: Mecosta County Deputies conducted a complete search of Chippewa Hills High School along with Michigan State Police K9 units and several interviews with students were completed. No credible threat or evidence of a gun being on school grounds was established. Two students were turned over to school administration for disciplinary action.
LOCKDOWN UPDATE as of 11:50 AM: At approximately 9:47 this morning, deputies from Mecosta County were dispatched to a verbal report of a possible student with a gun at Chippewa Hills High School. Deputies responded along with officers from Big Rapids Police Department and Michigan State Police. The Sheriff’s Office is in the early stages of investigation, but it is believed a student overheard another student mention a gun and this information was reported. The school went into a lockdown for precautionary reasons. Currently, a search is being conducted by units on the scene along with a Michigan State Police K-9 and interviews are being conducted. At this time, there is no indication that an actual firearm was possessed by a student on the campus. However, the school remains in lockdown until the search of the building is completed.
Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office takes all threats seriously and will remain on scene until the investigation and search are concluded.
