Cap Project Update: 10/31/25

Dear MACS Family and Community,

Progress on the 2023 Capital Improvement Project continues steadily, with completion anticipated in the fall of 2026. Contractors are currently working on window replacements at the High School, and will continue as long as weather conditions allow.

You may be wondering why we are asking you to vote on the proposed 2025 Capital Project while the 2023 project is still underway. As Superintendent, it is my responsibility to ensure our facilities remain safe, secure, and conducive to learning. Achieving this in a fiscally responsible way requires a long-term plan for capital improvements.

Our Board of Education is committed to maintaining low taxes while providing high-quality educational opportunities for our scholars. By aligning our capital projects with state aid projections and debt service schedules, we strive to make necessary improvements without increasing taxes. While future projects may eventually require additional funding, both the current (2023) and proposed (2025) projects do not require a tax increase.

If approved, the 2025 project will allow us to continue making essential upgrades to our schools. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Warm regards,
Dr. Runner
Superintendent
