Key:

 * = Projects that if the other funding sources do not come in as estimated, will need to move to an alternative source.

~ = Projects that have been consulted on, but the District does not have a formal bid.  

Project in bold italics are ones that funding sources have been confirmed.  

We will attempt to fund these projects through the following Sources:

 

  • Small Schools Modernization Grant – This is a $3.3 M grant the district has applied for.  If fully funded, it will allow us to take on a variety of energy efficiency upgrades as well as take on a chunk of the Kitchen Relocation project.  

  • Bond – The district is asking the community to support our projects by supplying us with up to $5.6 M of funds.

  • Donation – The district has generously been awarded funds from Grays Harbor Foundation and the Consolidated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation.

  • District Matching funds – In both cases of Donations, we were awarded these funds based on the idea that they were matching funds.  The School Board has made these commitments to these important projects.

  • OSPI Matching funds – If the community is generous in its commitment to our district in the way of a Bond, the District qualifies for $9.0 of matching funds from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction School Construction Assistance Program.  

  • Grants – The district is (or will be) in the process (when they become available) of applying for grants to address various projects.

  • TBD – We currently are looking at funding sources for these projects, as we don’t have a plan for them at this time.  


 

So what does it all mean?

 

In total the projects that we are planning to accomplish with the Small School Modernization Grant, Bond, Donations, District Matching funds, and OSPI Matching Funds total almost an approximate total of $15,385,000 (projects do not include architectural, design, permit fees, etc.)  Here is how we get there:

 

Small Schools Modernization Grant $3.3 M

District Set Asides $425,000

Legislative Set-Aside $500,000

Bond $5.6 M 

Grays Harbor Foundation Donations $35,000

Consolidated Chehalis Tribe Donation $20,000

OSPI Matching Funds $9.0 M

 

Total $18.8 M

 

In a perfect world these are the rates, we would put into place, if all the monies above are collected:

 

BOND RATE

Estimated Rate:  $2.18/$1,000 (15 yr) 

$5.6 M (with ~$9.0 M matching funds)

 

 

LEVY

 

What will the 2020 REPLACEMENT Educational Programs and Operations Levy provide?

 

This replacement levy is not a new tax! 

In fact, we are lowering your rate on the existing levy that expires in 2020.  The passage of this levy will allow us to continue to:

 

  • Provide Student Programs, including. . . .
    • K-12 Music
    • Career Technical Education programs
    • Alternative Schooling opportunities (Homelink)
    • Field Trips
    • Sports, Clubs, and Activities
    • Homeless Support Services

 

  • Provide services, equipment, supplies, and materials necessary to successfully operate our schools, including. . . .
    • Busing
    • Technology
    • Textbooks & Curriculum
    • Insurance premiums & Utility costs
    • Professional Development
    • Employee Sick leave and Health care benefits

 

  • Provide additional staffing not funded by the state which is critical to meeting the needs of our students, including. . . .
    • Lower class sizes
    • Nurse
    • Counselor
    • Custodian & Maintenance Staff
    • Educational Assistants & Paraeducators

 

LEVY RATE

$2.15/$1000 – (CURRENT RATE $2.50/$1000)

~$400,000/year

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BOND

 

What will the 2020 Capital Projects Bond Provide?

 

With the passage of our bond collection of $5.6 million, the Oakville School District qualifies for $9.0 million more dollars to enhance our facilities. 

 

In other words, if the Oakville community will fund 28.7% of the projects, we will qualify for monies from the state to pay for the other 71.3%.

 

Developed with help from the community, staff, and students, the bond includes:

 

Safety and Security for our campus for ALL students:

  • Replace our Public Announcement & Alarm Systems to work throughout the campus
  • Remodel our High School Entry for more visibility and create a more welcoming space

 

Provide an ‘up to code’ kitchen:

  • In 2018 and 2019, our Kitchen has barely passed its annual evaluation by the Health Department.  We have worked to keep it legal, however, it needs major repair. 
  • This Bond will allow us to move the Kitchen into the main building and provide a more efficient and healthier space for our students. 

 

Modernize our Facility

  • Our Bathrooms and Locker Rooms have not been remodeled in over 30 years.  They need to be updated.
  • Football Field Seating & Covering

 

Replacement of ‘Old Oakville’ Elementary School

  • The current Oakville Elementary School building currently holds no students and has been deemed ‘Unusable’ by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.  The heat, electricity, pipes, flooring (asbestos), and roofing are not up to code. 
  • It would cost more to renovate this building than to tear it down and replace it with a more up to date facility. 

 

BOND RATE

$2.18/$1000

$5.6 M (with $9.0 M Matching Funds)

 

Together with these community contributions, we can create better programs and facilities for our students.
