Freeland has had a sinking fund since 1997. Over the past two (2) years, it was used to replace Freeland’s roofs in the worst state of disrepair (south wing of the Learning Center, Learning Center cafeteria, and the Elementary School Gym). Approval of this levy would allow for a plan to replace the remainder of the schools’ roofs as they age.

A good night for Freeland:
Varsity Girls Basketball wins 45-16
Varsity Boys Basketball wins 64-56
FNV Hockey wins 8-7
A Sinking Fund millage is a property tax, considered a “pay-as-you-go” method for funding building and infrastructure projects. This is different than a bond, a form of borrowing, through which taxpayers must pay back the borrowed funds over a period of years with interest.
Freeland Varsity Boys Basketball tops Garber, 51-29, to cap a 3-0 night for the program.
Take a peek at some of the meals from our Nutrition Services team. The daily count of students eating breakfast and lunch has skyrocketed and we couldn't be more excited! We are thankful for their dedication to Freeland students.
Freeland Girls Basketball tops Birch Run, 60-20. Falcons’ JV also prevails.
The 2 mill sinking fund request will cost the owner of a $200,000 home ($100,000 taxable value) $200 per year. That is $6 per year less than the current expiring debt levy.
Freeland Boys Basketball defeats Birch Run, 78-41. JV wins as well.

Freeland Learning Center Staff Highlight - Ms. Patricia Taylor
This week, Freeland Learning Center is highlighting one of our Nutrition Services staff members, Ms. Patricia Taylor. Ms. Taylor has been working in the Nutrition Services department in the role of kitchen staff for the past six years. Ms. Taylor is also a grandparent of students in our district. Her older daughter suggested the position to keep Ms. Taylor occupied after retirement and also as a way to be able to see her grandchildren while they were in school. Next year Ms. Taylor’s grandchildren will be at the Freeland Middle/High School campus. She enjoys working at the Freeland Learning Center with the younger students and watching them grow during their first three years of school. Ms. Taylor is a very kind and caring person. She is always going out of her way to provide students with a nutritious breakfast and lunch as well as recognizing and rewarding students for making great choices in the cafeteria.
When asked what she finds most rewarding about her position, Ms. Taylor said, “Working with a great school and kitchen staff, I am proud of how hard our kitchen staff has worked during the pandemic to provide meals for not only students in the school setting but also those who are learning remotely.”
Thank you Ms. Taylor for your dedication to the students and families of the Freeland Learning Center and for all you do for the Freeland Community School District.
Freeland Basketball beats Swan Valley, 63-60. 9th & JV win as well.
The Freeland Community School District will be closed Tuesday, February 16, 2021.
