outhgate voters overwhelmingly said yes to a millage proposal on March 10 and the passage means big things for the Southgate School District. The final tally was 4,690 yes votes to 2,226 no votes. The $59,475,000 bond proposal will allow the district to improve facility infrastructure and classroom learning environments, enhance the safety and security of our places of learning, create opportunities for digital citizenship and support fine arts and fitness programs. District officials said: “It’s important that the students in our district remain competitive as they move through their educational journeys, including their time after they graduate from Southgate Community Schools.” The nearly $6 million bond breaks down this way: Facility Renovation, $34.7 million. This will include renovating restroom facilities, replacing
flooring at elementary schools, updating furniture in classrooms, replacing lighting with LEDs, installing plumbing,electrical and HVAC upgrades and replacing roofing. Safety and security enhancements, $3.0 million. This will bring enhanced security surveillance systems, construction of new safe and secure building entries, classroom safety egress windows, replacement of electrical equipment and installation of emergency

generators and replacing exterior concrete. Technology upgrades, $7.2 million. This will include updating the technology infrastructure, upgrading computer lab devices, provide new learning devices for students and help introduce new teaching devices for classrooms. Fine Arts and Fitness upgrades, $14.5 million. This money will build a new weight room and poll at Anderson High School, Remodel the auditorium, including seating, aisle lighting and acoustics, provide students with new musical instruments and allow the district to install a new turf athletic field at Titan Memorial Stadium. The new field will likely be the most visible of the new renovations and upgrades the school will make. The field will be multiple shades of green with the new Titan “sword” logo in the middle and burgundy endzones with the words Southgate in one and Anderson in the other.
