Prop S Information

Proposition S would fund 39 priority projects

Springfield voters will be asked April 2 to consider a $168 million bond proposal to fund 39 high-priority projects, which were recommended by a citizen’s task force to make our schools safer and stronger for students and staff.

The projects will renovate or reconstruct 6 schools, create safer entrances at 31 schools, plus add classroom space to expand preschool.

While Kickapoo is not directly receiving funds one of our feeder schools, Carver, will be one

of the schools to receive the addition of a secure entrance.

Projects that would be funded by Proposition S include:

• Secure entrances will be built or renovated at 31 schools including Carver MS.
• Renovation at Sunshine and Williams elementary schools and Hillcrest High School will address accessibility and security challenges, in addition to other improvements.
• New schools will be constructed for Boyd and Delaware elementary schools and Jarrett Middle School, fixing all security and accessibility issues. 
• New storm shelters will be added to Boyd, Delaware, Williams and Sunshine elementary schools, Jarrett Middle School and the southwest early childhood center.
• Classroom space will be added to expand preschool services in the district.

These school improvements would cost less than 10 cents a day in additional property taxes for a home with a market value of $100,000.  This proposal requests an 18-cent increase to the debt-service levy, which would be phased in over two years: 9 cents in 2019 and an additional 9 cents in 2020.
