Project
What?
A new 650 student capacity 2nd - 4th grade elementary building to relieve enrollment pressures at Adel Elementary, DeSoto Intermediate, and ADM Middle School. The new elementary would be built with the ability to expand in the future if needed.
When?
If approved, the bond would allow the ADM Board of Education to move forward with plans to construct a new elementary building planned to open for the 2021-22 school year.
Where?
Why?
ADM has experienced significant enrollment growth the past several years. Based on projected enrollment growth, the current elementary, intermediate, and middle school buildings will be above or near functional educational capacity by the 2021-22 school year.
How?
If passed, the 2019 bond referendum would authorize the ADM Board of Education to contract indebtedness and issue General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $15,750,000 to provide funds to construct, build, furnish and equip a new elementary building and improve the site. These funds combined with additional statewide sales tax revenue would be used to finance the approximate $18,000,000 total cost of the project.
June 25, 2019 - A Special Election will be held to authorize the ADM School District to contract indebtedness and issue bonds to construct, build, furnish and equip a new elementary building and improve the site. A YES vote of 60% is required for the measure to pass.
