Why not just fix West? 🤔 It's a fair question, and the School Board has studied all the options.
Repairing or retrofitting West would still require a bond, but it would mean spending millions on a 1950s building on a 3.6-acre site, without solving the other issues.
💛 Fiscal Responsible
Every option costs something. The question is which one gives the most value for each dollar. This plan:
• SAVE sales tax revenue, so less is paid for by property taxes
• Starts from zero existing bond debt, because the district paid off its last bond early
• Comes with the lowest rate of the three proposals, $2.70 per $1,000
• Is capped by the ballot at $25M
🖤 Planning for future generations of E-Hawks
This isn't a patch or a short-term fix. When approved, the new building would be owned by the district and is designed for long-term use by future E-Hawks. The 18.9-acre site north of the college includes room for future expansion, compared with 3.6 acres at the current West site.
