You spoke. We listened.
Following the May election, Brighton Area Schools met with community members, reviewed priorities, and revised the scope of the bond proposal for the November 3, 2026 ballot.
The revised proposal:
- Reduces the overall scope
- Focuses on essential needs
- Centers on three areas: Protect. Preserve. Prepare.
What changed financially? The revised November proposal is $90.275 million - a $66.01 million reduction - with a 0-mill tax rate increase.
This limited scope focuses on essential needs while reflecting feedback from the Brighton community.
