Abond issue election is Tuesday for Newcastle-area residents who live in the Newcastle Public School District. If approved, the $15 million issue would keep the current sinking fund tax rate in place, while maintaining the District’s bonding capacity. The result would be maximizing funds available with no tax increase for the residents.
If you vote yes for the bond issue, you are saying yes to providing for the students.
Projects to be built based on the school’s needs as planned by a committee of local residents include a multi-classroom addition with storm shelter at Newcastle Elementary School for $5,730,000, a classroom expansion for the aviation program at Newcastle High School for $1,715,000, track resurfacing, infield resurfacing, and site improvements to the Track & Field Complex for $905,000, a new soccer locker room building with restrooms and concessions at NHS Racer Stadium for $5,405,000, and parking improvements at the Newcastle School District Transportation Facility for $1,245,000.
