#BUILDMCCSTRONG TO IMPROVE LEARNING & SAFETY FOR OUR STUDENTS
MCC Community,
This week is the last opportunity to vote and get your ballot in the mail to count for the upcoming School Election. If you wait until the end of the week, we advise you to drive your ballot to the courthouse in Warren. Ballots must arrive by August 9 to count. Polls will be open at the courthouse until 8:00 p.m. on Monday evening.
We ask families to reference www.buildmccstrong.org to gather final information regarding the election. This website contains what's different compared to last year, the challenges, the solutions planned, and tax information. It also contains an FAQ page with some common questions/answers.
The county auditor's office showed us preliminary numbers from the state in regards to the state assessed entities. The share by Enbridge and the other state assessed entities was confirmed to be better than our tax information provided. Although preliminary it confirms those large entities will be paying in a range of 70-76% of this project.
There are many solutions this project will provide:
- Additional preK space in Viking
- Quality learning space for special education students
- Restroom for staff/families in Viking
- Better hallway access to Viking Cafeteria
- More seating in Viking Cafeteria
- Handicap accessible, larger music room in Viking
- Nurse's office adjacent to school office in Viking
- Additional office space in Viking
- A music room for Newfolden Elementary
- A library/multipurpose space for Newfolden Elementary
- Parking lot for staff and visitors at Newfolden Elementary
- Crossing street daily eliminated for elementary students
- Dedicated parent drop off at MCC High School
- 5th and 6th Grade classroom area at MCC High School
- Multipurpose space for 5-12 to utilize
- Repairs/Replacement of Pavement at MCC High School
- Commons/Cafeteria for High School Students
- Crossing street daily eliminated for high school students
- Secondary multipurpose gym to host gym class for grades 5/6, junior high volleyball/basketball, music programs/assemblies, robotics and other extra curriculars, youth basketball and tournaments, youth volleyball and tournaments, open gym, and other community uses
- Larger weightroom for teams/classes which will also feature community access times
This plan was put together with the help of a community working group featuring 20-30 people in attendance at multiple meetings looking at multiple options taking into consideration all the feedback gathered during and after the election last year.
The goal of this project is to meet space needs now while still supporting our future needs. An additional goal is to increase safety by eliminating crossing the street.
We understand there are always questions and concerns. We've appreciated people raising questions and sharing their thoughts along the way. These space needs have been around for a long time and considerable effort was brought forward to formulate this plan which is respectable in costs and will meet our needs.
Enrollment for the coming year is expected to grow. So far we have 18 new students planning to attend and know of 6 moving out.
Please take the time to review the information and vote!
The weight room will be closed until further notice as custodians begin waxing the floors in the high school.
