Cost to Taxpayers

For just pennies a day, we can give Groveport Madison students the modern, high-quality schools they deserve!

  • Three brand-new middle schools
  • An expansion to the high school to reduce overcrowding
  • A stronger community and better property values

What’s the actual cost to you?

  • Just 22.3 cents per day for a home valued at $100,000—only 17 cents per day for seniors who qualify for tax reductions!
  • For the median home value of $166,200, the cost is only 37.1 cents per day—just 28.5 cents for qualifying seniors.

That’s less than the cost of a cup of coffee each week to secure $71.4 million in state funding that Groveport Madison will lose if Bond Issue 24 doesn’t pass.

For a tiny investment, we can provide safe, modern, and effective learning environments for our kids—without putting the entire financial burden on local taxpayers.

(1) Median Auditor Appraised Value for the District is $166,200 according to the US Census Bureau.
(2) In order to qualify for the credit, homeowner must be 65 or older and a total household income less than $38,600. This amount varies yearly, so it is recommended those who may qualify contact the County Auditor. If an individual qualifies, they receive a credit up to $26,200 reduction in their home value (not a reduction in millage rate).

Groveport Madison Schools have a game-changing opportunity—but time is running out!

The State of Ohio is offering us $71.4 million to cover 53% of the cost to build three brand-new middle schools and expand Groveport Madison High School. But there’s a catch:

  • We MUST pass Bond Issue 24 within the next two elections to secure this funding.
  • If we fail, our district will lose $71.4 million—and local taxpayers will be on the hook for the entire $134.8 million project.

This is free money from the state that we can’t afford to leave on the table. Other districts have taken advantage of this funding—why shouldn’t we?

✅ A vote FOR Bond Issue #24 locks in state funding and eases the burden on local taxpayers.
❌ A vote AGAINST Bond Issue #24 means paying 100% of the cost—or doing nothing while our schools continue to deteriorate and struggle with overcrowding.

Let’s make the smart choice for our students, our schools, and our wallets.

Vote YES on Bond Issue 24 on May 6!

Let’s invest in our students, our schools, and our community’s future—together!
