(MSC News)--Voters in USD 380 will go to the polls Tuesday to decide the fate of $8.25 million bond issue for improvements at the Centralia and Frankfort schools, while a primary election will be held in the Doniphan County community of Elwood.
The bond proceeds would go to fund safety and security improvements at the two schools. It would also fund facility expansions at both locations, which will house Pre-K programs now operated at the district office in Vermillion. In addition, the old gym at the Centralia school would be converted into classroom space and a new gym built.
Including the Pre-K relocations, there would be a net addition of two classrooms at Frankfort and three at Centralia.
Paying off the bond issue is projected to increase the district’s property taxes by 12 mills for twenty years. That would mean about $138 per year more on a home valued at $100,000.
The district’s last bond issue passed in 1996 and paid for the K-6 building and gym at Frankfort.
In Elwood, a primary election will be held Tuesday to narrow the field of candidates vying for two open seats on the city council.
Seven candidates have filed, and the field will be narrowed to four for the November 7th general election.
Polls will be open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
