Some basic history of where and what Lapeer Community Schools have spent funds on facilities.

 

   Now that the Lapeer Community School Board has passed the resolution to put before the voters a request to approve funding nearly $100 million dollars for the building of a new high school, closing virtually all elementary buildings, re-purposing the current Lapeer High School to become the "New" Elementary School for our entire district,  and investing in other buildings as well. LCS voters need to know what, where and how our district has invested its dollars in the past to determine if this is the "fix" for our district  for the next 50 years as some have suggested.

   Starting with the passage of the sinking fund for the 2.2 mill sinking fund, through the Middle School Bond passed in 2007 (a continuation of the 2.2 mills (No taxes were increased), here is a complete list by building of how much money Lapeer Community Schools have spent on individual LCS Buildings. The costs are broken down and have totals from both Sinking Fund and the 2007 Bond Expenditures. This is the list of currently operating schools and facilities only and does not include Maple Grove elementary which has circumstances unique to that building, which LCS still owns and leases to Community Mental Health. This document was obtained through FOIA from LCS.
