This document outlines Jackson Public Schools' proposed $86.7 million bond program to upgrade district facilities. Key elements include constructing a new elementary school, renovating several existing schools, improving safety and security, and upgrading technology. The plan was developed over two years through stakeholder input and community engagement.
