The hottest ticket in town just might be seats at the Toledo Rotary Club’s Monday luncheon at the Glass City Center.
Toledo Public Schools Superintendent Romules Durant is expected to release detailed plans for the proposed $100 million renovation and redevelopment of the University of Toledo’s former Scott Park campus.
In February, leaders from Owens Community College, the University of Toledo, and TPS signed a letter of intent to work together to bring educational opportunities to citizens at the Scott Park campus.
UT stopped offering classes at the campus in 1999 and moved remaining administrative offices out of Scott Park in the 2010s. It was home to TPS’ Toledo Early College and the Toledo Police Department’s district police station, but the early college has since moved to UT’s former Driscoll Center.
Issue 19 is a proposed additional tax levy and a bond issue. The new 3.8-mill, five-year levy is meant to cover the district’s operating expenses. The $99 million in improvement bonds would be split in half with one part going toward the improvements at Scott Park. The other half would be used for renovating, rehabilitating, and otherwise improving sites for school district buildings and facilities.
