(KLZA)-- The Johnson County Central Board of Education adopted a resolution on a 5-1 vote during their August meeting to purchase property described as Outlot D in the Shawnee Ridge Addition at a price of $800,000. Board member Dan Jones cast the lone dissenting vote.
The Nemaha Valley Observer reports the land purchase was in preparation for a future school bond election to construct a building to house Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade students.
Two previous bond issues have failed in the Johnson County Central District.
