This measure sought to issue a bond in the amount of $4.3 million in order to pay for a new performing arts center, additional classrooms at the schools as well as a new gymnasium for the elementary school. If approved, an additional levy of $.32 would have been implemented in order to pay for the bond. School officials had hosted informational meetings in order to inform residents about the bond and the needs of the district.[3]
