Crowded Conditions
Grass Valley will
Build Two Schools
(Cont. froii Page 1)
sites.
The current housing
shortage is a product partly of the steadily growing’ enrollement and the
sudden loss of three prospective school housing
facilities.
First, plans to house
seventh and eighth graders in a portion of the
old Grass Valley High
School were thrown out
when the state determined that the old portion of
the building was unsafe
foroccupancy. The district then hired a structural engineer to see
what it would take to bring
the Grant and Washington Schools up structrual standards required
by the Field Act for school safety. He reported
it would be more economical to build new structures than to remodel
the existing buildings.
So the district went on
double sessions and rented two portable classrooms and remodeled
portions of the Hennessy
School to house the students.
The first phase of the
new building program will
end the situation of double sessions,
but only
temporarily,
The second phase, now
scheduled to meet needs
of kindergarten through
fifth grade until 1972
‘will include 22 new classrooms.
This second
phase program including
site, building and site
work and furniture and
roximately $826, 000.
Under the present assesed valuation of the district, the board by law
could only authorize a
bond issue of approximately $1 million. There
was some discussion by
the board about asking for
voter authorization to
sell $2 million in bonds.
The plan would be to sell
additional bonds as assessed valuation increased,
but it appears now that
the district will now go
foran issue of about $1.3
million.
Figures presented to the
citigens committee last
week indicate that to finance phase 1 would raise
local taxes 40 cents per $100 of assessed valuation and this would be
amortized overa 20 year
period with the tax decreasing yearly as the
indebtedness decreases.
According to school officials,a$10,000 home Hie
assessed at $2,500 wouldpay $10 per year for bond
retirement, a $15,000
home assessed at $3, 750
would pay $15, a $20, 000
home at $5, 000 assessed
valuation would pay $20
anda $30, 000 home assessedat $7,500 would pay
$30 per year.
Faced with a steadily
increasing enrollment
and other avenues of. §
housing the students cut
off, the board of trustees
is now firmly comitted to
the building program and
is going ahead with negotiations to secure the
Gilmore Field site for the
two phase construction
program,
