Referendum FAQ		Why are we proposing a referendum? Community input from two years of listening sessions (2017-18), a community survey (2019), and comprehensive assessment of CTE programming and district facilities have shaped the proposed school improvement plan. Key findings include: OUTDATED CTE FACILITY & AGING INFRASTRUCTURE Outdated, aging facilities no longer support curriculum and current technologies Lack of adequate classroom/lab space to serve CTE programs equitably Lack of safe circulation space around equipment and machinery, appropriate plumbing for wash stations, and HVAC systems to support healthy ventilation required of the environment Inadequate electrical supply and technology infrastructure Limited space to bring teachers/students together collaboratively Insufficient storage for programming materials, projects, and equipment Inefficient 1983 boiler (HS) requiring costly repairs Failing roofing materials (ES Primary Wing) causing costly damage to the external structure and internal ceiling, wall, and flooring materials CTE PROGRAM DEMAND Pittsville's CTE program is in high demand and grows with our local demand for skilled, job-ready graduates Over 60% of well-paying jobs in construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and IT go unfilled every year due to a skilled-trades labor shortage FINANCIAL PLANNING & TIMING The District has planned responsibly. The Full Day Child Care will be self-sustaining by 2023 and the energy efficiency project levy will expire in 2030. This reduces the overall levy and creates an opportunity to build the new CTE Facility with minimal tax increase over current levels. Interest rates remain at historic low levels which may result in significantly lower borrowing costs and will reduce the length of borrowing to 15 years (vs. 20 years)
