BOND INFORMATION Coalgate Public Schools 2024 School Bond Information • Election will be held on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 for registered voters in the Coalgate School District Only. • The Bond issued will provide funds to replace HVAC systems at the elementary school with energy efficient models, renovate the existing band building, and construct a new 8 lane track with field events. • The Elementary School HVAC System needs to be upgraded to a more energy efficient model, due to most units being over 28 years old. • The Band Building renovation will bring the building into a space that has better acoustics, provides storage for instruments, and will meet ADA requirements. • Prevent the need for Coalgate Track Team & students to be bussed to other tracks for practice sessions. • Our Community will be able to use the track for walking & exercising, when not being used for school events. • The School Bond is for 3 years at $2.6-million- dollars. • The School Bond would be a No Tax Increase, due to the previous school bond ending & the new bond would be taking its place. • Construction could possibly start as early as September 2024. Please Vote on Tuesday, April 2, 2024.
