A Banks School District Bond Measure was on the May 15, 2012 ballot in the Banks school district area which is in Washington County.
This measure was approved
- YES 737 (50.31%)
- NO 728 (49.69%)[1]
This measure sought to issue a bond in the amount of $10.5 million in order to help pay for construction and renovations of the Junior High school in the district.[2] This was the fourth attempt by the district to get money to fix these problems. School officials had noted that the condition of the buildings had continued to degrade to a point where it is almost unsafe for students to be in certain areas. Since it was approved, an addition of $.15 per $1,000 of assessed value will be added to the local property tax rate for the life of the bond.[3]
Text of measure
