On November 3, SWCS will have its first No-New-Millage Bond Issue on the ballot since 2018 focused on high school construction projects - all without raising the tax rate for residents (the same rate since 2009).
Issue 6 Fast Facts: Among items addressed in our public FAQ, is consideration of Renovation vs. Replacement 🏫
⚫ Third party, the Ohio Facilities Construction Comission has an evaluative threshold for when any Ohio schools are in need of a full building replacement: This is when that mark eclipses 66% of the cost of a new construction.
⚫ The OFCC has assessed Grove City High School at 82%
⚫ The OFCC has assessed Westland High School at 83%
⚫ Additionally, each building is comprised of dated HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and sewer systems that drive up ongoing maintenance costs with many components no longer servicable by the manufacture.
⚫ November 3rd's Issue 6 unlocks ~$113M in OFCC state matching funds that go to South Western City Schools to assist with these projects.
