The Proposal : A New Junior High. Zero Rate Change.
01
The Problem
The Junior High opened in 1961 for 615 students. It holds over 800 today. This forces many of our students to attend class in "portable classrooms" during their time at MSJH; a safety concern and... less than ideal learning environment.
In addition to issues & safety concerns relating to capacity, the cost to "improve" the building to modern standards is substaintial.
02
The Solution
On November 3, Mahomet-Seymour voters decide whether the District can build a new Junior High for $84 million to address overcrowding in the current aging Junior High. With debt retiring, the District tax rate would not increase.
A new Junior High for 900-1100 students, grades 6-8 on land the district already owns on the south side of South Mahomet Road, opening fall 2029.
