North Muskegon, Reeths-Puffer districts seek bond extensions NORTH MUSKEGON, Mich. (WZZM) - Voters on the lakeshore are heading to the polls to determine school bond issues. The North Muskegon district is asking voters to approve a bond extension. The $1.7 million wouldn't raise taxes but would extend the payoff on a bond voters passed five years ago. The money would pay for new technology, security improvements, and two buses. The district is transporting students on a 24 year old bus and another that is 17 years old. "The amount levied would stay the same. All it does is push the payoff from the 2028 and 2029 school year to the 2033 and 2034 school year," says John Weaver, North Muskegon Superintendent. The Reeths-Puffer School District is also asking for a bond extension. It would generate $23 million to pay for building and equipment improvements. A second proposal would allow the district to buy two turf athletic fields.
