Melrose High school was built more than 50 years ago, long before accommodations for people with disabilities were required by law.
The only way to access the locker rooms and industrial tech classrooms are by staircase, making it inaccessible to some students and community members.
Bathrooms and showers do not have adequate turning radius for wheelchairs, which means there are students who need to travel across the building to the auditorium to use the bathroom.
Referendum approval would upgrade the high school locker rooms, technical education space and bathroom areas to allow access for all users, even those with mobility limitations or injuries.
Vote now via absentee ballot at the school district office weekdays from 7am-3:30pm. Learn more at https://www.isd740.org/page/bond2023

On February 14, Melrose Area Public School residents will vote whether to approve funding to address our critical building needs.
Areas of our high school building are more than 50 years old and in need of maintenance and construction upgrades.
This preliminary site diagram illustrates the needs and proposed plan.
