SCHOOL FACILITY BOND REFERENDUM

On May 14, 2024, Martin County West School District voters will consider two bond referendum questions. 

QUESTION 1 - $64.7 Million

A $64.7 MILLION BOND TO BUILD A NEW PREK-12 GRADE SCHOOL AT THE CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL SITE

Building a new school to serve the entire District will address the school board's priority of FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY by:

• Addressing the aging buildings and failing building systems
• Reducing the amount of District operated square footage (27,055 less sq. feet to heat, clean, and operate)
• Designing flexible spaces that can be used for multiple purposes
• Installing energy-efficient systems and having better insulated building envelope
• Sharing of staff and resources across grade levels
• Eliminating the need for staff to travel between buildings
• Improving staff efficiencies and reducing duplication

QUESTION 2 - $2.04 Million

A $2.04 MILLION BOND TO BUILD AN AUXILIARY GYMNASIUM

Building an auxiliary gym will provide the needed space for all academic and co-curricular activities, as well as provide the District with the same amount of gym space the District had before the Welcome building closed.

ESTIMATED SAVINGS OF 1 BUILDING

Bringing all the school district's operations under one roof will result in considerable savings in operational costs. Please see an itemized list of projected savings here.
