Voting date is November 8, 1977, the election to be held ( at the same time and place as all the municipal elections. All registered voters ' can vote on this bond issue. By law, voters first must authorize the issuance and , sale of bonds before the District can proceed. Superintendent A. G. Kinder has emphasized that bonding will involve no ' increase in the property tax levy. The school district is levying 14.89 mills for capital outlay and debt service in 1977. With the approval of the bonding ( ' program, the capital outlay and debt service levy will be reduced to 14.30 mills , 1 and school building bonds will be sold only in such amount as the mill levy will 1 ' pay, the cost of principal and interest on the bonds. Not all of the $8.5 million , will be sold at one time, but only the amount needed as the school building u program progresses. ' i Raising money through the sale of bonds is the only legal way a school ( district may borrow money for an extended period of time. Selling bonds now provides the money to build facilities needed now. The bonds will be paid off by J mill levy through property taxes over the life of the bonds. . School building bonds are a general obligation of the school district and are 1 J payable from property taxes levied on all the taxable property in the district. All ' taxable DroDertv is aDDraised and the assessed valuation fixed. The tax levy is , then determined at a rate sufficient to produce the needed tax revenue to pay i ' interest and principal of the bonds. ' ! WHY DOES EMERY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT NEED SCHOOL BUILDING BONDING AUTHORITY? Emery County is undergoing a period of unprecedented growth. Because of ( the availability of good paying jobs brought about by the industrial growth we ' ' have seen large numbers of families move into the county, many of whom are early family formation years. A recent census of Emery County by the School . District placed the number of pre-school children in the county, those from 0 to i, four years at 1,136. That is almost half the total number of students (2,530) n ages 5-17 currently enrolled in the county's public schools. The effect of this growth in elementary student population over the next , 1 five years could be devastating in terms of the quality of educational experience ' ' we will be able to offer, unless we build now to anticipate this growth. Failure to undertake a building program in the face of these statistics could find our , educational facilities overflowing with young people in overloaded classrooms. HOW WILL THE SCHOOL BUILDING PROCEED? 1 We ask the voters to authorize an $8.5 million school bond to commence a ' ' building program expected to cover a 2 to 4 year period. The tentative building program is 1. Construction of a new High School in Green River; 2. Addition of 8 classrooms, a library and a gymnasium at the Huntington Elementary; 3. it Addition of 7 classrooms and a gymnasium at San Rafael Elementary at Ferron; ii 4. Addition of 4 classrooms at the Cleveland Elementary; 5. Addition of 4 "classrooms at Cottonwood in Orangeville; 6. Addition of new classrooms, 1 vocational education space and an addition to the auditorium at Emery High in 1 Castle Dale. In addition, some funds will be used for equipment and furnishings. We have immediate needs to provide adequate classroom facilities for our ( fast-growing student population. In the next four years tin; number of children u in school will grow 45, from 2,530 to 3,Wi(). Based on an average annual growth of 12, by 1985 we will need classroom space for nearly 7,000 students.
