Mr. Treece: Schools' role in economic development Third Article in Series: Replacing Col. Wm. Casey Elementary School will enhance desirability of Adair County for new businesses For next earlier article in this four part series, see Financing of School Construction: The bonding procedure/The simple arithmetic: Why the tax is such a bargain for Adair County taxpayers interested in a brighter future for our kids with link to first article in series By Darrell Treece, Superintendent, Adair County Schools As everyone is aware, when a business or industry is looking to locate in a community, there are many factors they consider. Three (3) of the top considerations are:
In order to pay for a new school, the Board of Education passed a "nickel tax" for facilities. The money can only go for building and maintaining facilities--not for salaries, busses, supplies, etc. It is vitally important that the community be supportive of this initiative not only for the students in the school system but also for economic development. The question is often asked, "Why should I have to pay school taxes? I don't have any children in the school system." The reason is that as a society we are all dependent on each other. When the community grows and local businesses expand and new businesses come in, jobs are created, more services are offered and everyone fairs better. The school system is an integral and vital part of the whole equation. If anyone desires more information, feel free to contact the Adair County Schools. -Darrell Treece, Superintendent Adair County Schools This story was posted on 2009-12-03 12:07:48
