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building is outmoded and outdated for carrying on a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.
