Jackson County School Board to vote on bond proposal Monday

In just a few days, the Jackson County School Board will make a decision on bond proposal to improve classroom facilities at schools in the district.

Superintendent John Strycker will present a final proposal to the board during their Monday meeting. The proposal will include a millage option and the percentage of money that would go to each attendance center for improvements.

Dr. Strycker says if the proposal gets the thumbs up from the board, voters could head to the polls some time in May to either approve or reject it. “Our board members truly care, they’re immersed into their communities, and they care deeply for the students, so it’s been a hard decision for them, because they are very conscientious of the tax dollar.”

School board officials say the planning process for this bond issue has been in the works for over a year.
