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. Although, this proposal does not involve updates at Sherwood, this proposition would allow several other schools in Springfield to have a safe entry and updated facility just like our Sherwood Superstars!
Projects that would be funded by Proposition S include:
Secure entrances will be built or renovated at 31 schools
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.

Register to vote by March 6 to vote on Proposition S
There are only a few days left to register to vote in the April 2 election. Proposition S, which will fund 39 high-priority projects, is one of the issues on that will appear on the ballot
If you are not currently registered to vote in Greene County, you must do so by Wednesday, March 6.
The voter registration application may be obtained from the Greene County Clerk’s Office, 940 N. Boonville Ave., or accessed and printed here. You may also register to vote at each of Springfield Public Schools’ five high schools: Central High School, 423 E. Central St.; Glendale High School, 2727 S. Ingram Mill Road; Hillcrest High School, 3319 N. Grant Ave.; Kickapoo High School, 3710 S. Jefferson Ave.; and Parkview High School, 516 W.

Remember: Eligibility to vote on school-related issues (school board members, bonds, etc.) is based on the school district in which you live. If you live in the Springfield Public Schools attendance area you may vote on the proposal April 2. This is true even if your residence is outside the city limits of Springfield.
