Dearborn Public Schools $1.51 Billion Bond Proposal
What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Education Quality, Public Infrastructure, Public Safety and Crime Control
Dearborn Public Schools would borrow up to $1.51 billion over about 20 years to build six new pre-K through 8 schools and renovate every other school, including safety, heating and cooling, and roofs. The district and city say offsetting cuts would keep homeowners' combined tax rate unchanged.
Proposed by: Dearborn Public Schools Board of Education (ballot language approved June 22, 2026)
The district's elected school board approved the ballot wording June 22, 2026. The plan would rebuild or remodel every school over 20 years, paid back with property taxes.

A YES vote means
The district could borrow the money and carry out its plan to replace and renovate schools, repaid through property taxes.
A NO vote means
The district could not borrow this money. Dearborn homeowners would see their combined tax rate drop when a city tax ends.
No financial records found for this ballot measure.
