Purpose

On April 8, 2019, the ADM Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution ordering a special election to authorize the ADM School District 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. A special election will take place on June 25. 

ADM has experienced significant enrollment growth the past several years. Projections indicate that enrollment will continue to increase for the foreseeable future.

Based on projected enrollment growth, the current elementary, intermediate, and middle school buildings will be above or near functional educational capacity starting in the 2021-22 school year.

In response to continued enrollment growth, ADM assembled a Facility Master Planning Committee to develop a plan to address the district’s future facility needs. After careful consideration and study, the ADM Facility Master Planning Committee recommended the construction of a new elementary building. This would relieve enrollment pressures at Adel Elementary, DeSoto Intermediate, and ADM Middle School and would change the grade levels that attend each building.
