NEWS RELEASE: Roseville Community Schools Reviews Bond Project Survey Results
Roseville Community Schools is reviewing feedback from parents, staff, students, and community members who shared their time and input during a recent community outreach initiative. The feedback gathered between September 8 and 18 will help guide the school district as it continues planning for a potential May 2026 zero-tax-rate-increase bond proposal.
Superintendent Mark Blaszkowski said the school district greatly appreciates the honest conversations and thoughtful questions that emerged during the outreach process. “These conversations are just the beginning,” Blaszkowski said. “We’ll continue to listen, answer questions, and make sure our community has the information it needs as we shape the next steps together.”
Participants expressed strong support for prioritizing the basics, including facility infrastructure, safety and security, updating learning environments, and improvements to playgrounds, arts, and athletic facilities. Most of the discussion focused on the school district’s long-term facility plan, including school consolidation, construction of a new elementary, and the creation of an Early Childhood Center. Some participants supported consolidating facilities to reduce costs and address declining enrollment, while others raised questions about busing, the loss of neighborhood schools, and potential impacts on class sizes and staffing.
The proposal to build a new elementary school on the Eastland Middle School site drew both excitement and questions. Many participants saw it as a chance to create a modern, student-centered space, while others wanted more details about traffic, boundaries, and the reasons for not considering renovation. There was strong support for converting Fountain Elementary into an Early Childhood Center to expand preschool opportunities, though participants asked for clarification about staffing, transportation, and program logistics. “We’re hearing both excitement and questions from the community, and that helps us build a balanced, thoughtful plan for the future,” Blaszkowski said.
School district leaders will continue to review all feedback and develop materials to answer the most frequently asked questions. In the coming months, Roseville Community Schools will host public informational sessions to share updated project details, cost information, and the reasoning behind proposed plans.
