A Beloit School District Bond Measure was on the April 3, 2012 ballot in the Beloit school district which is in Rock County.
This measure was approved
- YES 2,888
- NO 2,543[1]
This measure sought to issue a bond in the amount of $70 million in order to help pay for new roofs, swimming pool maintenance costs and other facility repair costs as needed in the district.[2] The Todd Elementary school was one of the facilities which will be expanded since the bond measure was approved. The building will be expanded to include up to third grade and would allow for more students. Traffic congestion around the school will also be addressed as many parents have noted their frustration with wait times to pick up children.[3]
Since this measure was approved an addition of $12 million would be added to the current interest repayments made in the district adding to a total of $82,897,931. Though the new bond repayment will be at a lower rate than the previous bond so the total cost could still go down over time.[4]
