I personally will probably vote no... they are trying to do way too much and its going to raise my taxes over $500 a year. I support replacing and renovating schools, but they have so much in there about sports, energy improvements, etc. which could wait, and a lot of their plans are quite nebulous (they may rebuild a school or move it, they don't have a list of which schools get playgrounds, etc.). They also don't have anything for Oakdale, which is one of the oldest if not the oldest school building.
I am voting NO ... 32 different plans in addition the superintendent says his plans are not set in stone and could change at any minute. In other words give me the money and if I change my mind I will do what I want to do. Yes it will increase our property tax.
In 2015 the district borrowed $110 million for 51 projects across the district, with every school benefiting from multiple improvements. No property tax increase when the voters approved this five year loan. Apparently they just paid off the $110M.
If that is the case, then I think the Panthers ought to go pay for at least 50% of the bond then (and actually, its kindof ridiculous to think there is going to be a huge growth of families just because the panthers put their headquarters here...)
If the schools still think this has any chance of passing after this pandemic and the hundreds if not thousands locally that are financially impacted for the significant future, then school leaders and school board members are the one's needing to be educated.
