# Virtual Bond Community Meeting | Dearborn Public Schools | Sept. 16th, 2026 @ 6:00 p.m.

This virtual community meeting held by Dearborn Public Schools on September 16, 2026, focused on presenting and discussing a proposed $1.5 billion bond measure set for the November election. The bond aims to fund the construction of six new preK-8 neighborhood schools, major renovations to the district's three high schools with a $220 million investment, and $447 million in critical infrastructure upgrades districtwide, including modern HVAC systems, air conditioning, safety enhancements, and accessibility improvements. The superintendent emphasized that the bond is tax rate neutral, achieved by replacing expiring millages, and highlighted the extensive planning and community engagement since 2020. Attendees raised concerns about the preK-8 school model and preservation of historic school architecture, which district leaders addressed by explaining design separations and efforts to balance modernization with heritage preservation. The meeting included detailed explanations of phased project implementation and reassurances about tax impacts, with a strong focus on equity and future readiness of educational facilities.
