The Sparta Board of Education has approved a date for a $55 million referendum.

The referendum will be held on September 16, 2025 and will focus on funding various facility improvements in the Sparta Township school district.

Some of the proposed projects include renovations to existing schools, security upgrades, technology improvements, and improvements to athletic facilities.

The referendum is aimed at addressing the district's growing student population and aging infrastructure.

If approved by voters, the referendum will allow the district to move forward with these important improvements for the benefit of students and staff.

Quote Of The Day

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. -  Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Sparta Police Department recently held a discussion on personal safety, covering topics such as situational awareness, home security, and self-defense.

The presentation emphasized the importance of being alert and prepared to prevent becoming a victim of crime.

Officers provided practical tips for staying safe both at home and while out in the community, such as locking doors and windows, being aware of surroundings, and avoiding risky situations.

Attendees were encouraged to follow the "see something, say something" principle and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.

Overall, the event aimed to educate residents on how to protect themselves and their property from potential threats.
