Mountainburg Public Schools is initiating a strategic plan to address facility needs. To support our students and provide a high-quality learning environment, we are requesting a 3.9-mill increase, which would bring our millage rate to 47.9 mills. This funding would allow us to build a new middle school/ high school cafeteria providing a modern, warm, safe and dry kitchen and student dining space. Voters will decide on this investment in May 2025, ensuring we can meet both current and future student needs. There will be two public meetings: Thursday, May 1 at 6:00 Tuesday, May 6 at 6:00 Please join us in the MMS/MHS Cafeteria for a Q&A, review and provide input in the preliminary designs, tour the existing cafeteria, and the new Dragon Gym & Activity Center. You can read more about the project here: https://secure.smore.com/n/12mg9?fbclid=IwY2xjawJyKrlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHjVjjYNgF5xFLpcXUkNSwKg8N13uMUOeCP9ffilxFS8PDmnna6tWxDHuopE2_aem_JUVXCpw705-TvsrJrCGvdg
