Board votes to place bond issue on Nov. 3 ballot

Aug. 18, 2009

Voters will decide Nov. 3 whether to approve a $50-million bond issue to fund facility improvements, including air conditioning all remaining schools. If approved by voters, the bond issue will extend the current 51-cent debt-service levy four years.

The school board unanimously approved the ballot measure Aug. 18 but did not finalize the list of bond projects to be funded. The proposed Study/Westport project merited additional discussion, board members agreed. In other business, the board set the 2009 tax rate at $3.1123 per $100 assessed valuation.
