What it does

Question 2 If and only if Question 1 above is approved, shall the Board of Trustees of School District No. 2 of Spartanburg County, South Carolina (the “School District”) be empowered to issue, at one time or from time to time, general obligation bonds of the School District, in a principal amount of not exceeding $30,000,000, the proceeds of which shall be used to finance the costs (including architectural, engineering, legal and related fees) of stadium upgrades at both of the School District’s high schools, athletic improvements at all middle schools, and improvements to playgrounds at all elementary schools?

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

According to Spartanburg School District 2, its bond referendum has two separate questions. The district says Question 1 involves no tax increase, while Question 2, which takes effect only if Question 1 passes, would have a tax impact of about $5 a month on a $300,000 home.

The district says the Board of Trustees approved placing the measure on the November ballot at a board meeting, and it has published renderings of the proposed projects ahead of the vote.

Put on the ballot by Spartanburg County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees.
