WEBB CITY, Mo. — The Webb City R-7 School District hopes that a different election date will produce a win for a bond issue.
The district is asking voters to approve the issuance of $5 million in bonds on April 8. The money would be used to build a new library and media center at Webb City High School.
One of the differences is that this year there is a more organized campaign to get enough votes.
“We are partnering with the campaign,” said Dixie Meredith, director of the Webb City Chamber of Commerce. “We’re organizing the effort to put up signs and get information out. It’s a more concerted effort.”
Superintendent Ron Lankford said in January that the district didn’t do a good job of communication in November. The district will be the host a forum at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Webb City High School to explain the bond issue and what it is aimed at accomplishing.
The library would have 8,000 to 10,000 square feet of floor space and would be attached to the high school’s west side, near a circular drive. The library would have a computer lab and other research tools.
Other construction projects included in the plan:
n Remodeling the high school’s classroom addition.
n Building four new classrooms and a multipurpose area at the junior high.
n Replacing windows at Webster Elementary and Franklin Early Childhood Center.
Any leftover bond money would be used to repair roofs at schools.
If the issue passes, the district would sell $5 million worth of bonds and pay off the debt over 20 years. Lankford said the district would pay off the debt via an extension of the debt-service levy at its current rate of 68 cents per $100 of assessed valuation.
The Webb City School District’s total levy is $3.43 per $100 assessed valuation. It is composed of the 68 cents for debt service and $2.75 for operations.
