Bond vote put on hold

The school board voted unanimously to rescind the motion calling for a May bond election. The vote came after the board discussed the upcoming loss of $588,000 instate aid and the failure to secure 0% interest school construction bonds. The impact on the tax levy will be an increase of approximately 15 cents for next year, without the additional bond.

There is still a need for additional classroom space, but now is not the time to add an additional burden on to the taxpayers.
