Summary

Presenters showed four capital options—$8M (minimal updates, 4 buildings), $11M (3 buildings), roughly $20M–$24M (two-building variants) and $50M (single PK–12 campus)—with sample homeowner tax translations like $3 to $42 per month depending on the plan.

Reporter (S2) summarized the capital scenarios presented to the steering committee: minimal updates to keep four campuses was estimated at about $8,000,000; a three-building plan at roughly $11,000,000; two-building options were described in the $20,000,000–$24,000,000 range depending on site choices and additions; and a single PK–12 campus was priced at about $50,000,000.

S2 connected those figures to household tax examples: "For example, that $30,000,000 option... would be roughly that $20 per month increase on a $150,000 home," and the $50,000,000 option "translates to about $42 a month." The hosts noted the mid-range two- and three-building options align more closely with the poll's $20/month tolerance but stressed trade-offs between cost and long-term educational or operational outcomes.
