Bond Questions, Answers Question: What is the problem? Answer: Our prent 1923 model high school building is outmoded and outdated for carrying on a modern high school education program. It is overcrowded and the modern part of the building is sortie distance from the Reed High School. It, also, serves the junior high students. The Junior High building is partially condemned and is an outmoded building and presents serious problems for the school. Including Evergreen Elementary School, the present downtown buildings serve well over 2,000 youngsters on about four blocks of land broken up by city streets. Loop Field is owned by the City of Shelton and is not part of the School District facilities. Our present high school enrollment (10-12) is now 901, with 785 youngsters (7-9) being served in the Junior ttigh. The school is double the size it was fifteen years ago. It appears, from studies conducted during the past two years, using county trends, P.U.D. and Telephone Company predictions, and considering the impact of the new four-year college, that the school population will at least double again over the next fifteen years. Question: What plans do you have for the present buildings in the downtown area? Answer: Some of the downtown buildings are adequate and hhe Angle Building is a very good facility. The Junior High building will be closed and probably torn down, since it is not suitable for use by the school. The 7th and 8th grade can be housed in the Angle Building and an excellent educational program can be developed for those students. The Reed Building will be converted into District, Special ServiCes and Maintenance offices. It will, also, be used for central storage of District supplies and materials and remain as the central cafeteria. The new high school will serve youngsters in grades 9-12. Answer: The high school will be built for 1,300 youngsters and will cost $4,400,000.00 $400,000.00 of this cost is for equipment. The handicapped classrooms will include four rooms and a multi-purpose room and cost $240,000.00 Question: How much will this bond issue cost me over the next twenty years? Answer: The bond issue is for $3,119,000.00. The school will probably have to sell only about one-half of the bonds. It is expected that non-high districts will pay one-half of the bond issue. To protect against any possibility that the money would not be available, the full amount less State Aid, was placed on the ballot. The cost of this new high school to the taxpayer of Sheiton is expected to be about 30%. The other 70% of the money will come from State matching and the non-high districts. Assuming half of the bonds will be sold, it is estimated the millage cost to the average taxpayer will begin at approximately eight mills and decline, due to rises in assessed valuation, to about four mills during the twenty year period. On a $20,000 house, this would mean the annual tax bill would begin at $40 and decline till it reached $20.00 in twenty years. Question: Where will the new high school be located? Answer: The new high school will be located on the Spring Road in the Mr. View Area on a forty-acre site purchased from funds w)ted by the taxpayers two years ago for this purpose. The site is level, located about one-half mile from the City limits and City sewer and water have been brought to this site. Question: What else is on the bond issue? - besides a new hi#a school? Answer: Money will be available for the replacement of the Rogers mentally handicapped school. This is presently being housed in one of the old Navy barracks at the Airport. It is leased by the school from the Port of Shelton. It is not a good facility for these children, since the youngsters are isolated from the rest of the school and the building needs replacement. Question: How much money will be needed for high school and handicapped rooms? Question: Why should we build a new high school now? Answer: It certainly appears that the cost of building a new school will never get any cheaper. The cost of building is going tip 5% to 10% annually. More than this, the cost of not being able to develop a better educational program, particularly for the vocational area for the kids of Shelter cannot be measured. With this bond issue, the major building proi,tems of the school will be solved for many years to come. A high school will be built that everyone in Shelton can be extremely proud of. DR. HARRY W.
