(KMZA)--66 percent those responding to recent patron survey in the Nemaha Central school district indicated they support the “ idea” of a bond issue to pay for facility improvements.

The results of the phone and on-line survey, conducted by Patron Insight, were shared with the USD 115 Board of Education when they met last week. The phone survey contacted 325 registered voters.

When asked their current voting intention, 64 percent of patrons said they favor or strongly favor a $5 million bond issue and 61 percent said they favor or strongly favor a $10 million bond issue. Only 49 percent indicated support for a $15 million bond issue.

Upgrades of the current technical building were the most favored by patrons, followed by upgrades of the high school classrooms, particularly the science rooms.

Steve Shogren with Stifel Investments Services, of Wichita, presented information to the board on different bond scenarios.

The board is expected to discuss how they plan to proceed at their April meeting.
