School Board to Consider Bond Vote
- Share via
Citing a growing enrollment and aging facilities, the Pleasant Valley school board tonight is scheduled to consider whether it will give the go-ahead for a $55-million bond election in June.
Many of the classrooms at district schools are 30 years or older and need repairs. And at least three new schools will be needed to ease overcrowding at the 14-campus, 6,900-student district, said Howard Hamilton, associate superintendent.
Although the district held two failed bond elections in 1991, Hamilton, citing informal surveys and community meetings, predicted that a bond measure would now succeed.
The school board will consider the item at its regular meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 601 Carmen Drive.
