To Our Grand Rapids Community,

On behalf of Grand Rapids Public Schools, thank you! 

Your support of the GRPS Sinking Fund is an investment in every scholar who walks through our doors. We are deeply grateful for the confidence you have placed in our district and our future. 

This vote reflects our community's belief that every child deserves to learn in schools that are warm, safe, dry, and connected. Because of your support, we will have a dedicated funding source to make essential repairs, improve school safety, replace aging technology for scholars and staff, and maintain our facilities. This funding source helps to preserve General Fund dollars for what matters most: our scholars, educators, and the programs that support teaching and learning. 

This victory belongs to our entire community. Thank you to every voter who participated in this election. 

We recognize that every tax dollar entrusted to us carries a responsibility. We remain committed to using these funds wisely and transparently. We will continue to provide regular updates on how these investments are improving our schools and creating better learning environments for every scholar. 

Together, we are building stronger schools, stronger neighborhoods, and a stronger Grand Rapids. 

With gratitude, 

Leadriane Roby, Ph.D.Superintendent
