Construction

The [http://www.southpoint.k12.oh.us South Point Local School District] is in the initial stages to construct all new buildings. The high school and middle school will be the first to be constructed, followed by the replacement of both elementary schools, with a total price tag of more than $42 million. The project began in March 2004 when a $4.91 million dollar bond issue and a half-million dollar levy was passed to pay for the new facilities. Over the next 27 years, the bond issue will raise $7.7 million in property taxes for construction. The [http://www.osfc.state.oh.us/ Ohio School Facilities Commission] will pitch in an additional $30.8 million. The high school and middle school are targeted for completion for the start of the 2007-08 school year. The elementary schools completion dates are planned for the start of the 2008-09 school year. Situated on an 85 acre site off Sand Road, just north of US 52 behind the Ohio State Highway Patrol building and Highland Memorial Gardens, the high school will be about convert|80000|sqft|m2 while the middle school will be about convert|60000|sqft|m2. The two schools will share a common cafeteria, which will seat as many as 600. The site will include a new sports complex. Due to lack of space and its current location, South Point Elementary will be built on the grounds of the old high school and middle school buildings, which will be demolished once the new ones are constructed. The new Burlington Elementary will be built at its current site.cite web|url=http://www.irontontribune.com/articles/2007/07/11/news/news150.txt|title=South Point schools taking shape|author=Phyllis Noah|publisher="The Ironton Tribune"|date=2007-07-11|accessdate=2007-07-25]
