Bond election to build a new elementary building on the southeast practice field.

Notus School District Special Bond Election

November 4, 2014

Why the November election and why 4.8 million?Why the November election and why 4.8 million?

• The Board of Trustees passed a resolution on September 2nd to run a 4.8 million dollar special bond to build a new elementary building.

• A successful election in November will allow for construction of the new building to be completed for the start of the 2016-2017 school year.

• A March election would delay construction completion to Winter of 2016-2017 school year.

• $4.8 million dollars will insure that a new cafeteria and lunchroom can be added to the new building which allows for the construction of the building on the southeast practice field behind the current high school at a lower cost to district patrons.
