Bond Election Info
The Eastpointe Community Schools’ Board of Education has approved placing a $36.4 million no tax-rate increase bond proposal on the August 8 ballot. Voter approval of the ballot proposal will not increase the current tax rate.
All bond projects have been designed with students and the community foremost in mind.
Research indicates that school districts with schools and facilities that are in good repair tend to have higher property values. Good schools and facilities are also key factors for families who are looking to relocate to a community.
Background Information
Eastpointe Community Schools maintains nine facilities: Bellview Elementary, Crescentwood Elementary, Forest Park Elementary, Pleasantview Elementary, Eastpointe Middle School, Eastpointe High School, The Early Learning Center, the Alternative Center, and the operations and transportation building. The average age of Eastpointe Community Schools' facilities is 64.5 years old.
Preschool and elementary enrollment are projected to double in the next five years. We want to make sure the district's youngest learners have a space that will support their educational program.
In addition, the bond revenue will allow us to complete the updates at the middle school and high school that were started through the sinking fund, which passed in 2019 and has allowed the district to complete maintenance and minor renovations.

Will the bond proposal increase the current tax rate?
No. The school district will extend the current tax rate for the entirety of the bond, which will not require any tax rate increase to complete the projects.
