Spartanburg County School District 2 places two-question bond referendum on November ballot

Megan Coffee, Spartanburg County School District 2 Teacher of the Year, said the district is holding a bond referendum in November that will ask voters two questions to fund school construction and facility improvements. "We are holding a bond referendum in November, where voters will be asked two questions about funding projects to help us meet student needs," Coffee said.

The district is projecting continued enrollment growth and is seeking funding for both capital construction and safety and modernization projects, Coffee said. Question One would fund a new K–8 school and additions to two elementary schools; Coffee said Question One "doesn't have a tax increase." Question Two is aimed at renovating and improving safety at high school stadiums, upgrading middle school athletic facilities and providing new playgrounds for elementary students. Coffee urged residents to visit spart2.org/vote for more information and to vote in November.
