The upcoming Bond Referendum proposes to provide safety and ADA accessibility for all. Melrose high school was built more than 50 years ago, long before accommodations for people with disabilities were required by law. The current locker rooms, industrial tech area and most bathrooms are not accessible to those with mobility limitations. Learn all you can about this referendum and vote now via absentee at the district office OR on election day, Tuesday February 14th at Melrose City Center.
