Dear Neighbor:

Your School Board is proud to live in a healthy, growing community that has always valued education. Thanks to your support, Plainfield has become one of Indiana’s top-rated school districts.

As our district grows, we’ll continue to provide a safe and welcoming environment for students, staff, and the community. That’s why we’ve developed a long-term plan to make prudent investments in improvements to our schools.

Through careful timing and strategies such as refinancing bonds (our mortgages), we’re able to complete projects that extend the lives of our community’s schools and make them more efficient and comfortable without increasing property tax rates.

This publication provides a quick summary of the planned improvements. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please ask a School Board member, email quakers@plainfield.k12.in.us, or call 839-2578.

P.S. The question everyone asks is when we’ll need to build another school. Based upon current growth, we anticipate that won’t happen until the mid-2020s.
