Building for the Future: Bond 2026

An investment in students, schools, and our community
 

 


Our district continues to grow rapidly, and we are dedicated to providing safe, innovative, and supportive learning environments for all students. By working together, we can ensure that every student has the resources and surroundings they need to succeed.

TUPS is investing in Safe, Modern Schools for Every Student

Township of Union Public Schools is committed to providing safe, modern, and welcoming learning environments that support every student’s success. This proposed bond referendum will invest in critical facility repairs, upgrades to aging building systems, and improvements to classrooms and student spaces so that schools can better support today’s educational programs and future needs. By addressing long‑term infrastructure, safety, and instructional space priorities, the district aims to protect the community’s investment in its schools while creating high‑quality learning environments for current and future generations of students.

Key Focus Areas

The 2026 Bond Proposal focuses on expanding classroom capacity, enhancing academic and extracurricular opportunities, and preparing our district to meet the needs of today’s learners and tomorrow’s graduates, with no tax increase. 

  • Enrollment Growth
    Growing student populations are increasing demand on classrooms and shared spaces.
  • Facility Needs
    Updates are needed to maintain safe, functional, and modern learning environments.
  • Future Planning
    Proactive improvements help manage long-term costs and support community growth.
