On November 3, 2026, South Western City Schools will present a No-New-Millage Bond Issue on the ballot—our first since 2018. Focused on high school facility improvements for grades 9–12, this measure will not raise the district tax rate, which has remained constant since 2009. Approval of this initiative allows SWCS to execute Segment 3 of its long-range facilities plan while securing approximately

• $113 million in matching state funds. Key outcomes include:
• New High Schools: Constructing brand-new facilities for Grove City High School and Westland High School.
• Expanded Career Tech: Addressing waitlists at the South Western Career Academy.
• Targeted Upgrades: Investing in facility and athletic enhancements for Central Crossing High School and Franklin Heights High School.

SWCS leadership invites community members, parents, and staff to learn more about the proposed projects. Stay Informed and Read more.
