According to County School Superintendent Ed Fellersen, the existing tworoom school is overcrowded, By the time the new school is completed the third classroom will be filled and the fourth will probably be needed ‘the following year. The state apportionment of $198,500 anda $25,000 bond issue seems like a staggering amount of money for a four room school, but several things should be remembered. First, the total of the state apportioniment is a borrowing limit set by the state. The voters must approve an apportionment up to that limit, but in all probability that total amount will not be required for the project. Secondly, the total money involved is not going just fora school. A new site must be purchased. The board has already chosen an 8.9 acre tract located a half mile west of the Chicago Park Store. All utilities and sanitary facilities must be installed before the school can be constructed. The cost tothe district taxpayer will range to 40 cents per $100 for redemption of both the bonds School and repayiuent of the state apportionment. The current basic operating tax rate inthe district is 90 cents. The chances are good that this will rise since the wages for teachers to staff the new rooms and other costs of running the new facility must come from the regu_lar district budget and not from bond or state funds.
