Editor’s note: The following ballot proposal was inadvertently removed from the ballot measure story printed in Thursday’s Daily News. We regret the error.

Among the 12 proposals on the primary election ballot Tuesday is the school bond proposal in Dowagiac.

Dowagiac Union School District’s $19.9 million bond proposal would construct a new high school adjacent to the middle school, which would be partially remodeled.

The bond would install technology improvements in district buildings and improve athletic fields and facilities, play fields and the DMS/high school site.

In a July 26 front page story in the Daily News about the bond proposal, Supt. Mark Daniel and Dowagiac Board of Education President Michelle Helmuth said the proposal would help prepare students for “global learning.”

Daniel said the possibility of having students in sixth through 12th grades in the same vicinity allows for easier transitions and a higher utilization rate of the middle school’s property.

“Sixth through 12th-graders is half of our student population,” Daniel said. “Having them all here would move the utilization rate to 91 percent.”

Depending on an individual’s home value, the amount homeowners will be taxed could vary.

“I’ve drawn up numbers for presentations I’m doing that give estimates for low, medium and high,” Daniel said. “Some I’ve seen can be $38 in taxes for the year. It comes down to the question of do we want to put money into our current structure or have the opportunity to build a new facility with better technology?”

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
