As a result of transparent spending and superb management of district dollars, we are extremely proud to announce that the state has approved our new elementary school building projects. We do not need additional tax dollars as we have the funds on hand. On November 18, 2021, the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) approved the Massillon elementary building project at their November Commission meeting.
The project financial breakdown is as follows:
State Share: $15,219,211
Local Share: $29,807,375
Project Budget: $45,026,586
As stated in community meetings in 2019, we would first look at district owned properties as potential locations in an effort to keep total project costs down while ensuring that we have new elementary buildings both on the East and West portions of our district. After a thorough process, we were pleased to announce that the Massillon City Schools will move forward with a campus-style delivery model. Our East side campus will consist of our new East side elementary (PK-3) as well as our current Washington High School. Our West side campus will consist of our new West side elementary (PK-3) as well as our current Massillon Middle School facility.
“I cannot begin to think of a more exciting time in the Massillon City School District than right now as we head into this process and establish the future for our school district,” said Superintendent, Paul Salvino.
