(poor audio. However, raise the volume and adjust the tone.)
In this segment, a parent asks what the tax impact would be. Supr. Carvin responds that the revenue gain per student for 4K would be $4400. Thus if 100 students were involved, the total revenue would be $440,000, with the state picking up 2/3 and the local taxpayer paying 1/3.
When asked about the impact on space, i.e. a referendum for additional space needs, Supr. Carvin responded that one of the reasons for a "community based model" was to minimize the necessity for a referendum for space for this.
When asked further what the district would do since the daycare's had indicated no interest in the program, Supr. Carvin said it would be "no problem" for a couple of years, since some other space in early childhood could be utilized.
Some casual observers have speculated that this is where the district is headed if they choose to ignore the feedback of the public at the public hearing. To do so would be to incur higher costs for the district. It would be essentially going head to head with the current daycares in Evansville for daycare services. Listen carefully to the audio.
Stay tuned to The Evansville Observer as we follow this developing story. Remember, it's The Evansville Observer, Where,
