  • CONSTRUCTION COSTS
     
    The School Board approved the sale of a $42 million bond to finance the construction of the new school. Center Grove has the funding capacity to build the new school WITHOUT impacting the school district's $1.00 tax rate. No remonstrance was filed during the petition period, so a referendum was not held on this project.
