Many of November's school bond successes were no strangers to the ballot
How long should districts wait to try again after voters reject a school bond?
Some don’t come back to the ballot for more than a decade. Some come back as soon as the next election.
A majority of the school bonds in the November 2025 general election succeeded, according to the Builders Exchange of Michigan.
At least 30 of the 49 bonds on the ballot came from districts that had bond proposals in previous elections since November 2019, according to a Michigan Public analysis.
