IT IS MORE THAN A POOL.
Remember to vote on May 8, 2012. The bond proposal being placed before voters is more than a replacement pool. It is also a major renovation of the athletic/activities wing of the high school. The renovations to the athletic/activity wing and tennis courts are estimated at $5 million. The new pool and diving area is estimated at $6.9 million. If approved by voters this will ensure the entire high school is in good shape for the next 30 years.
-
The athletic wing lobby and concessions are renovated. The lobby also serves as space for lunch periods during the school day.
-
Team and physical education locker rooms are renovated and improved.
- Hallways, stairs, and elevator areas are renovated allowing for safety and security improvements.
- Renovations allow for the athletic/activity wing of the high school to be used on weekends. Allows for increased community use on the weekend without opening the entire high school.
- The existing 40-year-old pool is filled in and space is renovated into a fitness center complete with weights and fitness machines. This space will be available to community members for use at designated times during the week.
- Renovation of the existing tennis courts.
- A new 8-lane competition pool and diving area, including locker rooms and spectator balcony. It allows for increased time for community open swim, community swim teams, rental by YMCA for programs, 4th grade drown proofing, physical education classes for lifetime fitness, Kent County Sheriff Department water rescue training, and continuing the female/male high school and middle school swim teams that help us address Title IX requirements.
- Did you know that a Northview household with residents under age 65 who do not itemize taxes would invest $6.13 per month if the May 8 bond is approved by voters? This is less than a lunch at a fast food burger joint. Less than a 12 pack of soda.
