Objective there are certain moneys in a district coffers that is ear marked for buildings and grounds only. Can't be used for teachers, books or even pencils. It has to be spent on buildings. They are also expanding 2 of the schools and doing updates to all the others including more efficent HVAC systems at the 2 oldest buildings.

Bell BOE of has not spent any money on buidling updates in nearly a decade. If you have been to the HS lately you know it is showing its age outside. The field and pressbox is only a small portion of that money.

Currently they are keeping up 3 fields for football/soccer. This will cut that cost as well. They are spending a ton on paint, mowing, fertilzer and so on. That cost will be eliminated for the next 20 years.

Without the new tax the buildings were going to get in terrible shape and some phases already are. Our kids deserve the best just like the kids of Harlan co, Letcher co., perry co. and many others. I personally am glad the BOE has made the decsion to do that.
