MOORESVILLE GRADED SCHOOL DISTRICT - REQUEST FOR FUNDS: Mr.
Frank Fields, chairman of the Mooresville Graded School District,
and Dr. Jane Carrigan, Superintendent, Mooresville Graded Schools,
came before the board to discuss the requests from the Mooresville
Graded School District.
Mr. Fields spoke briefly then presented Dr. Carrigan, who
discussed a recent offer they have had from property owners in the
south end of the county to purchase property at $20,000 per acre.
The land owners will finance the purchase of the property for three
to five years. The property owners will establish a trust fund for
the repayment funds and, at the death of the property owners, the
funds would revert back to the Mooresville Graded School System.
The property owners would draw the interest from the repaid funds
for their living expenses during their lifetime. The total
estimated cost is $800,000 for 40 acres of property. They have
been given 90 days to make a decision on this matter, and they are
now into the 60th day for making a decision.
The supplemental school tax was discussed with the board. Dr.
Carrigan said that one penny on the school district tax rate
generates $62,000 a year. The rate is currently 12.5 cents. In
order to pay off the indebtedness for the proposed property, they
would require a 21 cent tax increase added to the existing 12.5
rate for a total of 33.5 cents on the school supplemental tax.
At the present time the following taxes are paid on each $100
dollars of tax value:
County tax rate 45.0 cents
School District tax rate 12.5 cents
City tax rate 50.0 cents
TOTAL $107.5/$100 VALUATION
In addition to the above-mentioned property purchase, they
need $186,000 to finish the Parkview classrooms which came in
higher than the proposed bids. However, Dr. Carrigan's request
was that these funds not come from the 95-96 budget.
