(Corning, Iowa) – Officials with the Southwest Valley School District in Corning, say that on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, patrons of the Corning Community Schools will vote on an $18.6-million bond issue. If measure is approved, the district will move forward with key facilities upgrades that will benefit students across all grade levels.
That includes:
  • East Elementary classroom additions
  • Safe room upgrade at the elementary
  • Addition of a new gymnasium at the elementary
  • Renovations to the central office at the elementary
  • West pod renovation to create new ECEC space
  • New fences, dugouts, press box, concessions, bleachers, and accessibility upgrades at the baseball and softball fields
  • Upgraded restrooms and fencing at the football field
  • Replacement of the wooden playground structure at the elementary school. 
The bond would have a maximum property tax impact of $69/year, on a home with an assessed value of $100,000. Even with an approved bond, school officials say the district’s tax rate would be the third-lowest it has been over the last 14 years.
