A series of public meetings are being held by the citizens committee to discuss the proposed $35.8 million bond issue to fund district-wide improvement projects and build a new stadium west of the high school.
A meeting scheduled for Thursday night was postponed because of the weather until Monday at 6:30 p.m. at IXL Elementary school.
Other meetings will be:
February 5th, Headstart, 6 p.m.
February 5th, Jefferson Elementary School, 6:30 p.m.
February 7th, C-4 Elementary School, 6:30 p.m.
February 13th, Brown Center (Wright Room), 7 p.m.
February 18th, Francis Willard Elementary School, 6:30 p.m.
Ballots will be mailed Feb. 14 and must be returned to the county clerk’s office by noon March 6. District residents must be registered to vote in the bond issue. Those who aren’t sure which school district they live in may review their last property tax statement to be sure.
Improvements to the 26-year-old high school will result in the biggest price tag. The expansion and remodeling will cost $8.5 million. The cost of a new stadium comes in second at $5.3 million.
