The Portage Township School Board has set the stage for a $6.35 million bond to be approved later this month. It’s expected to not impact tax bills.
Superintendent Amanda Alaniz explained the bond will pay for HVAC improvements at Jones Elementary School as well as various site improvements at Portage High School. Those include surfacing the baseball and softball fields, fencing and drainage.Alaniz said at the April 22 meeting that the district’s spending on facilities is paying off. The board had asked her to see how much impact the facility improvements have had on operating costs.
The board did hear comments from recipients of grants from the Portage Township Education Foundation to support innovative programs and ideas. “These are things they don’t have to do, so you really should be commended for wanting to do more for your kids,” Maletta said. This year, the foundation will begin recognizing career milestones with first-year, 5-, 10-, and even 45-year pins. “They’re a big deal,” she said.
Fellow teacher Jeff Moscinski received a grant for an archery set. The school resource officer will help work with PE students in grades 6-8 next year, Kietzman said. Portage High School teacher Andrea Flynn is having students learning to teach at elementary schools write journals. Flynn had read a book about a first-year teacher’s experience. “I want these teachers to read the book and compare it to their own experiences,” she said. She hopes it will push them into teaching careers.
