According to the Ormond Beach Observer edition from 10 years ago this week ...

  • The construction of Ormond Beach Middle School concluded, and the school district held a ceremonial dedication on Oct. 24. The $47-million school took five years to build and was funded by the district’s half-cent sales tax. The school was built with six buildings, a video production studio and classrooms with interactive whiteboards.
  • The Volusia County School Board and Volusia Tax Reform met at Daytona Beach’s Schnebly Recreation Center to debate the merits of the school district's proposed one-mill property tax increase, which was set to appear on the ballot on Nov. 6, 2012.
