Rapid City Area Schools now moves from the bond vote to designing projects
The Good Day Rapid City team
Now comes the work. The district says it's moving from planning to implementation: project design, scheduling, financial planning and construction coordination. The bond will supplement a $79 million capital outlay plan already covering North and West middle schools, Wilson and South Canyon elementaries and a new Shepherd Hills Elementary over the next decade.
What does it cost you? The district puts the tax impact at about 49 cents per $1,000 of a property's valuation. Chief Financial and Operations Officer Coy Sasse said the district significantly reduced its ask this time.
