Board puts a $100 million school facilities referendum on the November ballot

What happened

On July 14 the board adopted an initial resolution for up to $100 million in bonds and set the Nov. 3 election. A 20-Year Facilities Plan approved June 16 targets the four oldest schools.

Why it matters to families

Voters decide whether to borrow for building work. By law the money can only be used for the listed projects, not salaries or utilities.

The evidence

The July 14 agenda lists the initial resolution and the resolution providing for a referendum election, with the not-to-exceed $100,000,000 amount and the projects at four schools.
