On Nov. 5, Union County residents will vote on $39,421,448 in school bonds. This bond package will address aging facilities at Parkwood High and East Union Middle. The schools were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and are inadequate for modern-day teaching and learning. 

This bond will invest in pre-construction for a new Parkwood High and a construction project that will relocate East Union Middle to the Forest Hills High campus. The 2024 bond will build on previous commitments and investments to provide modern schools for our students.

For Parkwood High, the funding will address design work, assessments and land surveys. For the East Union Middle project, the funding will provide demolition, additions and building renovations to accommodate middle school academic and athletic programming. 

To help our community learn more about the bond projects, Union County Public Schools will hold four information sessions. Staff and Board of Education members will discuss the district’s bond history, share long-range plans and answer frequently asked questions about school bonds.

Bond Information Meetings:

Sept. 12, 6 p.m. at Forest Hills High 

Sept. 19, 6 p.m. at Parkwood High

Oct. 3, 6 p.m. at Parkwood High

Oct. 17, 6 p.m. at East Union Middle
