Prop 5: SMART Projects

Proposition 5 Bond Issue

The Rockwood School Board voted unanimously to place a $55 million, no-tax increase bond issue on the April 6 ballot.

The decision follows months of review and a final recommendation from the 50-member citizens' committee that studied the school and facility needs of St. Louis County’s largest school district.

Named Proposition 5, the referendum would not require an increase to the district’s current debt service tax rate of 68 cents per $100 of assessed valuation of real and personal property.

Prop 5 focuses on five SMART priority areas as identified by the Bond Issue Committee:
• Safety measures and infrastructure
• Maintenance of current facilities
• Additions for classrooms
• Renovations for instructional areas
• Technology infrastructure
