At the September Board Meeting, the Downtown Bowling Green Special Improvement District (DTBG S.I.D.) Board of Directors voted to endorse the upcoming Bowling Green City Schools Bond Levy.
The DTBG S.I.D. Board are of the opinion that the Bowling Green Senior High School (BGHS) current facilities do not produce economic growth and development of life for the future of our area. It has been 60 years since BGHS was built and it is deteriorating badly.
This link to a video, from inside the school, supports the need for a new structure.

Passage of this levy would not only put the schools on the same level with neighboring school districts as far as vastly improving technological instruction and classrooms, but it would also drive those corporate decision makers to look at Bowling Green as a community where they would want to invest in locating.
We believe it is very important that this levy be passed, both for the physical health and safety of our children, and the continued growth of our community. The cost will only increase in the future if this levy is not passed.
