Big plans soon to be on the table for Starkville Oktibbeha School District
SUMMARY: The Starkville Oktibbeha School District in Mississippi plans to borrow up to $87 million to update or build new facilities. The district is allowed to issue bonds under state law that consolidated the Starkville City and Oktibbeha County School Districts. The district’s total assessed value of taxable property is just over $500 million, allowing them to issue a bond worth up to 20% of that value. The district is considering a facility study and prioritizing the construction of a new high school. A referendum for the bonds is not required unless petitioned by 20% of voters.
