Spartanburg Schools Vote on Big Upgrades | Greenville News

Spartanburg County School District Two is asking voters to decide on two big upgrades this November — one without a tax hike, the other with a five-mil increase. The first would build a new K-8 school and expand two elementary campuses to handle a surge of 4,000 students in just eight years. The second, if approved, would modernize all 14 schools with new stadiums, better athletic facilities, restrooms, seating, and playgrounds — used not just for sports but by bands, JROTC, and even churches. Superintendent Dr. Tim Newman says these changes are urgent to fix overcrowded classrooms and outdated amenities, and the two questions are linked: if the no-tax option fails, the tax-increase proposal won’t even be voted on. With a projected $20 annual tax impact per $100K home value, voters on Nov. 3 could shape the district’s future — or risk years of delays and strained resources.
