🌟 A Huge Thank You! 🌟
GPS is beyond grateful for the Greenville Rotary Club, Greenville Lions Club, Greenville Youth Advisory Council (GYAC), and Eightcap, Inc. for their incredible efforts in making spring break food boxes a reality for over 40 GPS families in need. Their time, energy, and dedication to raising funds, purchasing food, and packaging the food boxes make a tremendous impact.
💜💛 Thank you for being such a vital part of our community. 💜💛
The GPS Sinking Fund proposal will not raise your current tax rate. Our debt millage rate is 4.7 mills, but it is scheduled to drop to 3.2 mills this summer. This proposal asks for 1.5 mills, to maintain the 4.7 mills total rate, allowing us to keep our schools safe and equipped with the resources needed while remaining financially stable. Additionally, because the district will not pay interest costs, every dollar will go directly toward benefiting students.
