Did our taxes pay for any facilities, repairs etc? How do our taxes come into play? Impact to students (Families) going to existing school and then having school move 20 miles away. Would seem that some families might have made home procurement based upon current location.
Appreciate anyone who can help us understand the process and impact.

The current campus will continue to be used for grades K-8. Middle school grades will be in the old high school after some revisions are finished. These grades will also be at the new southern campus.
High school will only be offered at the south campus.
These facilities were expanded several times. But with the tremendous growth of the Villages, the need for the schools has also boomed. There is a waiting list. The new campus is a good answer to the need for lots more space.
The Developer built all the schools out of his own pocket. No taxes were used. This is a fantastic benefit that he can offer to attract and retain good employees.
