BMW Taxes To Fund Rapidly Growing School District
The Spartanburg County District 5 school system expects 2.2 million dollars annually from BMW as the automaker builds its first North American plant nearby. The district, with about 4,500 students across seven schools, could gain over 1,000 students by year end and needs the funds to hire teachers, add classrooms, and offset anticipated state revenue losses. Superintendent Marvin Woodson notes class sizes range 23 to 26 per elementary class and warns revenue shifts will follow BMW’s 350 million investment.
