OH: Troy school ballot request takes shape with tax levy cost, new school locations
TROY — The Troy City Schools Board of Education voted Friday to seek a bond issue to construct four proposed new school buildings, plus a tax levy for maintenance of those buildings, plus updates to the high school.
The board vote was the first of two steps needed to place a tax issue before voters in the November election.
The Miami County Auditor was asked to set the millage amount for a 37-year bond issue to generate $87,832,471 for a project with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission’s classroom facilities assistance program.
The local levy money would be used, along with a funding contribution from the state, to construct four new buildings. Three buildings would be for preschool through fourth grade, while the other building would house grades five and six.
