USD 380 Will Not Hold May Bond Election

(KMZA)--Vermillion USD 380 will not be holding a bond election in May to fund improvements to the district’s schools.

Superintendent Mischel Miller says that’s the outcome of a special USD 380 Board of Education meeting Monday evening.

“The meeting resulted in a board member putting forth a resolution for our option B plan that was out and visible to patrons,” Miller said. “It resulted in a 3-3 vote. The result of a tie means, at this point, we are not moving forward with the bond election in May.”

Option B at a price tag of $8.7 million called for improvements to the Centralia and Frankfort schools and the closing of the Vermillion building, which currently houses the district office and the pre-kindergarten class.

The Board of Education had been considering four bond options, ranging from $4.3 million to $8.7 million. Two of those options were eliminated during a special meeting last week.
