Middle School Addition Project Update
Planning is moving quickly on the Middle School addition at Ross Beatty High School, a key project included in the 2025 Bond Proposal. This addition will support the future relocation of middle school students and represents an important investment in our facilities and educational environment.
As part of our commitment to community involvement, we aim to engage as many local contractors as possible throughout the construction process. To support this effort, our architects will host a contractor orientation meeting on Monday, May 4, at 5:00 p.m. in the High School Media Center. Local contractors interested in bidding on any aspect of this project are encouraged to attend. Please help spread the word to any contractors who may wish to participate.
Planning and early implementation efforts have begun for the bond proposal approved by voters on May 6th. Over the past few months, significant planning has taken place to lay the groundwork for upcoming improvements.
Cassopolis Public Schools received an AA- credit rating from Standard & Poor’s. This places us in the top 11% of rated districts statewide.
This strong rating helps reduce borrowing costs and reflects the financial strength of our district and community.
