Saline school district to hold forum on bond proposal
By David Jesse
The Saline school district will hold a public forum Tuesday for community members to learn more about the $28 million bond proposal that is on the ballot for the Aug. 3 primary election.
According to an e-mail sent by district Superintendent Scot Graden, administrators will share information about the goals of the proposal and "the opportunity to access interest free bonds."
The 6:30 p.m. meeting will be held in the Liberty School's media center. The school is located at 7265 Saline-Ann Arbor Road.

@taunt So you would favor not extending a millage to use this money to maintain/upgrade the district infrastructure and use general fund dollars that would otherwise be used in the classroom instead? This proposal would save 7 million dollars in interest costs. Seems like a good deal to me. I'm voting YES.

Saline should Lower it debt levels - - a No vote is a responsible vote. Can we "Cut Taxes" just One time, just once, somewhere in this State, just one time lower Government run spending? Is it possible? 7 mils is 7 mils - if it is so small then no one will miss it when it goes away.

Let me get this straight, no tax increase and the school system can generate $28 million for capital projects and some new buses.... I'm voting YES!

@cobrall The money can't be used for pay raises. Follow this link to read about the bond proposal and the comments - or go to the SAS web-site. http://www.annarbor.com/news/saline-board-of-education-to-introduce-bond-resolution-at-meeting-tonight/

Let's vote NO on this one - Government spending is out of control. Let's pay off the over-runs on the High school First. - then SAS can go borrow more money. Don't we have enough Debt as it is?
