Shall Freeland Community School District, Saginaw, Midland and Bay Counties, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Twenty-One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($21,200,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefore, in one or more series, for the purpose of: remodeling school buildings and facilities; equipping, re-equipping, furnishing and refurnishing school buildings and facilities; and preparing, developing, improving and equipping structures, facilities, sites and a stormwater drainage project at the Freeland Learning Center playground?
