(KNZA)--Voters in the Jefferson County North School District will decide the fate of a $5.5 million bond issue for facility improvements during the November 5th general election.

The USD 339 Board of Education decided to place the issue before voters again after the bond proposal was defeated by a 19-vote margin during a special election in May.

The bond issue would fund a variety of improvements, ranging from school safety to HVAC and roof repairs, along with a Vo-Ag and Tech classroom addition.

School district officials say the bond projects are needed to improve safety and security, accessibility, classroom environments and building efficiency.

The proposal would require a 6.5 mill levy increase over a 30-year period to pay for the bonds and interest.

Informational meetings on the bond issue will be held Tuesday evening, October 8th at the Jeff Co North High School and Wednesday evening, October 9th at the elementary/middle school. Both meetings will start at 6:00.
