Southwest
R-V School District
April
2, 2019 Bond Issue
Proposition KIDS
“Keep
Improving District Schools”
FACILITIES REVIEW
After completing the annual
district facilities review, the district determined there is a critical need
for a second phase of renovations and repairs to our facilities. As stated when Phase I was being promoted and
completed, “our district has been placing too much money and too many band-aids
on facility issues that need major repairs and renovations.”
Phase II will include renovations and remodeling to our current
middle school, lower elementary, and upper elementary facilities. Due to the age of these facilities, these
renovations are essential to keeping the students in a healthy, safe, and
productive learning environment.
PHASES OF COMPLETION
Phase I Improvements:
April 4, 2017 Bond Issue (Completed as Promised)
The community passed the first
phase of the renovations on April 7, 2017.
These included the complete renovation and remodel of the middle school
gymnasium including the addition of HVAC to that facility. In the lower elementary school, the existing
restrooms were completely renovated and an additional set of restrooms were
built on the north end of the building.
The last portion of the April 2017 Bond Issue included replacing several
HVAC units in the middle school building.
All of these improvements were completed over the 2017 summer and early
fall.
Phase II Improvements:
April 2, 2019 Bond Issue
In the best interest of the
district and community, a bond issue will be on the ballot on April 2, 2019 to
fund needed district facilities renovations and repairs. The bond is for $2.2 million dollars and will not
increase the current 85 cent levy. This
means that the necessary repairs and renovations can be completed without
increasing the current taxes that patrons are paying to the school district.

IMPORTANCE TO THE DISTRICT AND PATRONS
It is important to me as the
superintendent of the district, but just as vital as a lifelong resident of
this community, that we take care of the facilities. Of course, new is amazing, but the cost of
demolishing and rebuilding is ridiculous and a wasteful use of tax dollars. With the passing of Propositions KIDS, the
district can renovate, repair, and remodel the facilities which we currently
have and make them not only look new, but function as new facilities at a
fraction of the cost.
REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEERS
The 2017 Bond Issue passed
because the committee members helped to distribute information and encouraged
the voters to get to the polls on election day.
I am, once again, asking for committee volunteers to assist in promoting
the Proposition KIDS bond issue. Being a
committee member will not take much of your time, but it takes individuals who
will share the appropriate and accurate information about this bond issue to
the voters of the district.
If you are interested in
volunteering, please contact the superintendent’s office at 417-826-5410. If you call, please leave your name and
contact information such as email address and phone number with Peggy
Murray. You can also email me at
ttilford@swr5.net or Peggy Murray at pmurray@swr5.net.
An informational meeting will be
in the Southwest Elementary Cafeteria on Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at 6:00
pm. This meeting will provide
information regarding the bond issue plus promotional materials will be
available for the volunteers.
Tuesday, April 2, 2019 is the day
to vote. I believe that our students
deserve being educated in a healthy, safe, and productive learning environment.
Thank you, Tosha Tilford |
