Article 4 authorizes the District to borrow up to $111,950,000 for the final design and construction of a new school building, sports facilities and campus as well as the demolition of the current building ONLY IF The District secures 25% of the bond cost from federal, state or private sources, AND IF The State legislature eliminates the current double-penalty for school construction debt. In total these two contingencies and the $1M made in cuts to the revised plan reduces the local share of the bond by over $15 million as compared to 2024. Even with a “YES” vote, the project will only proceed if two criteria are met: At least $28 million in outside aid is secured to offset local costs. Depending on our state eligibility, total state funding over the life of the bond could range between $25 million and $50 million. The State Legislature eliminates the 2x–penalties for capital projects. State Senator Clarkson and State Representative Kimbel have introduced legislation that will eliminate the stiff penalty school districts now face when taking on debt to maintain their facilities. These conditions are written into the ballot question to protect taxpayers and contain costs. The rebuild will not happen unless both conditions #1 and #2 are met.
