Ludington Area School District
This $101 million bond program for Ludington Area Schools is a transformative initiative aimed at addressing persistent, district-wide facility needs. Informed by strategic planning, thorough facilities assessments, and community input, the project consolidated four lower elementary and pre-kindergarten buildings onto one campus with shared resources, enhancing operational efficiencies. The bond also includes significant renovations to the high school and middle school, along with improvements to transportation and security measures.
The central focus of these projects is to revive aging facilities with infrastructure beyond its useful life, with an emphasis on safe, modern environments for both students and staff. This involves the implementation of secure entrances, age-appropriate classrooms, and learning spaces equipped with integrated technology and flexible furniture. The improvements extend to enhanced traffic flow, energy-efficient building features, and ADA accessibility, contributing to an overall upgraded educational landscape.
