2010 Bond Issue

The Warren Local School District Board of Education is in the planning process required by the Ohio School Facilities Commission (OSFC) to plan for the possible construction of new facilities. The District last addressed this issue in 2003, with a bond issue that failed by a wide margin. It is expected that the state share for a facilities project will now top 55%, with the local community needing to pass a Bond for approximately 40-45% of the total cost for new construction. This represents a 10% increase in funding since the original plan was put before voters nearly six years ago. Over the next few months, the Board of Education and District Administration will be working with the community to discuss the possibilities for new buildings and guide community members through the process of deciding the grade level make-up, student population, and location of potential new facilities. However, prior to starting that process, it is important to determine the challenges associated with our current facilities in an effort to identify the true need for new construction.

If you are interested in reviewing the current challenges associated with the district's facilities, please access the "Building Assessments" to the left. The attached documents outline our current facilities as of June 2009. Additional information, including a listing of public meeting times/dates, associated with this project will be posted to this site as it becomes available.
