What would be the impact on the local economy of building new schools?
• During the construction period, contractors would spend money in local restaurants, motels, and stores. • Young families with children would be more inclined to settle in our community knowing that the district provided adequate educational facilities. • Our school district would be able to host wrestling, track, and possibly baseball competition, which would infuse money into our community from visiting teams and their families. • There are approximately 162 students who live in our district but attend schools in other districts. In 2009, this represented a loss of about $1.2 million in revenues. New facilities should attract some of these students back to our district.
