Montezuma Schools to vote on bond issue April 5th

The path to Montezuma's school bond issues could prove to be a long road ahead.

Voters in the Montezuma Community School District will head to the polls in a couple of weeks to vote on a new bond issue. The vote is on whether or not the Montezuma School Board will issue $8.5 million dollars in General Obligation Bonds to help pay for a school renovation project.

This combined with a $2.70 tax dollar levy is expected to pay for the Montezuma school renovation project. The project is expected to cost around $11 million.  In order for the vote to pass, voters must approve the bond issue by at least 60%. In September 2010, voters rejected a similar plan with only 40% voting in favor of the project.

Voters in the Montezuma School District will vote at the Montezuma Public Library. The polls will be open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. For more on the September 2010 bond issue vote, click HERE.
