Ravenna Public Schools will ask the community to vote on a project to create a safer, more inclusive, and updated school for students. This project will address urgent facility needs and improve the school’s learning spaces for agriculture, art, welding, robotics, middle school special education, and more. It will also create secure vestibules and keep all students under one roof.

 

To fund the project, the RPS Board of Education has approved a special election to vote on a school bond not to exceed $5,500,000. For more information about how the bond will affect your taxes, visit the FINANCIAL PAGE.
