FAST FACTS

Cost - Taxpayer

• 2.9 Mill Bond Issue for 37 years 5-8th Grade Building – Fully Furnished

• .5 Mill for 23 years Facility Maintenance (OSFC Requirement)

• Total Cost to Property Owner $119 per year on $100,000 home

Formula for figuring tax cost:

Appraisal (Fair Market Value) x 35% Divided by 1,000 x 3.4 = Cost To Taxpayer

Example: $100,000 x 35% ÷ 1,000 x 3.4 = $119

Farmers – 50 cents an acre annually.

A farmer who owns an 80 acre tract of land on CAUV will pay less than $40 a year.

Cost – Facility

• $33.5 million 5-8th Grade Building – Fully Furnished

• $24.7 million Taxpayer Share

• $8.8 million State Share


Your support FOR the new middle school equals:

State - 8.8 million dollars to help build a 5-8 school

State - Rebate dollars for Junior High Repairs

Federal - Stimulus money to lower bond interest rates

Greenville School Board - dropped grades K-12 workbooks, flat and lab fees immediately upon passage

Greenville School Board - the new 5-8 building includes a Senior Citizen center at no extra cost.


The State funds 40% of a BASIC facility. The OSFC formula only funded a BASIC building housing 774 students. The district is currently averaging over 210 students per grade level in grades K-4. Additional academic square footage and upgrades for long term energy efficiencies add to the total cost of the local taxpayer share.

What kind of energy savings should we expect?

Currently, the cost for energy per square foot is $1.74 at South School and $1.34 per square foot at the Junior High and Memorial Hall. The projected cost of energy per square foot in the new facility is approximately $.95 per square foot. There will be considerable savings experienced by the district over the course of time. Because of the new mechanicals and upgraded materials used to construct the facility (and warranties, thereof), the maintenance/repair costs will be greatly reduced.
