For over two decades, the Prairie Community has discussed and inquired about providing a pool for our students to increase opportunities for competitive swimming, curricular enhancement and expanded opportunities for students of all grades. This proposed project intends to bring a pool/recreation complex to campus, enhance safety and fan experiences at John Wall Stadium, and enhance facilities used by baseball, softball, boys wrestling and girls wrestling. Additionally, a partnership with the YMCA to operate the district-owned pool and wellness facilities has the added benefit of providing full-service, year-round, multi-generational wellness facilities to a community that has supported our schools.

Will the project impact my taxes?
Taxes will not increase. Due to decades of responsible financial planning and needs-based facility practices, this project can be completed without impacting/raising the tax levy rate for bonding. We already levy the maximum 4.05/1000 debt service levy. We have been paying debt off early by levying the full amount. The bond repayment schedule will be structured to fit within the $4.05 so the rate stays the same. If it doesn’t pass, we will continue the $4.05 until all debt is paid off.
