Recently, the Spring Hill School District proposed a $60 million bond to support the growing population and the growing CTE pathways. This would help to fund projects and renovate current school buildings. 

Overall, many people in SPUB aren’t super educated on the bond issue, so many didn’t have opinions. However, the staff members who were educated shared largely positive opinions on the issue. 

“While I am not going to be here while the changes take place, I think it is vital that the bond passes. The CTE building will do so much for opening up space for us at the high school to have more classes for our ever-growing student body. Plus, a brand new building with new, personalized spaces for CTE pathways will encourage enrolling in such programs and provide members of these pathways with exciting new opportunities and ways to prepare themselves for the future career they hope to attain. The expanded lunchrooms and new AC units are less riveting, but just as vital to the populations of the respective schools,” Danny Heinen, 11, said. 

While many current students and younger members of the community seem to support the bond issue, staff members have heard parents concerned about a possible tax increase. 

“As being one of the only students to attend and help really share what the bond truly needs to be focused on, I believe it will boost both our attendance and schools while also getting the proper space for CTE courses but also keeping our students comfortable. I know many parents and taxpayers are freaking out about possible tax increases, but actually that is wrong. This bond issue has no mill levy increase along with doing this #forthekids,” Hadley Booze, 11, said. 

According to the Spring Hill website, it does say that it will ensure there is no mill levy increase for Spring Hill residents. The ballot drop boxes are currently open and will close on noon May 13th.
