Would our current reserves be used to cover any project costs?
The board of education sets a goal of 20% reserves for the district. Over the last several years we have fluctuated between 25% and 40%. Recent legislation has put legal pressure on our plan to increase pay in our salary and wage positions in order to meet the goals of our Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP). As a result of these mandates, the ability for districts to transfer money and maintain other financial requirements is becoming more difficult. The district would plan to make responsible amounts of transfers from reserves (Fund 1) into Fund 4 to fund other maintenance and repair projects that are not
necessarily part of this proposition.

Where will the playground be located?
The playground will remain to the east of the elementary school. However, this plan includes leveling the space and bringing equipment and structures closer to the building while fencing it in and designating a single, safe entrance from the playground to the building.

Why is the plan that claimed Coombs St. not happening? The Long Range Facility Team felt it was important to look at other options to meet the recommended changes. The safety and security issues identified previously with the current elementary school entrance and playground still exist, however the plan to permanently take over the section of Coombs St. directly south of the elementary school was not viewed as ideal for the community. Therefore, a new plan was created that would modify Coombs St. and incorporate a third lane for school use only and renovate space to create a new elementary school entrance and new offices and classrooms. This change was approved by the Smithton R-VI Board of Education through the adoption of the Long Range Facility Plan.
The school district and the City of Smithton have established an agreement approved by the City Council that allows for Coombs to be modified by the school district to the south of the elementary school between Marvin and Myrtle Ave. without shutting it down.

What a magnificent performance of Willy Wonka by the Smithton Drama Club!

A huge thank you and congrats to all the drama club members, directors and volunteers who had a hand in making this production truly special!
