(KNZA)--Voters in the Holton school district will decide during the November general election whether to approve a $4.5 million general obligation bond issue.
The USD 336 Board of Education voted during their regular meeting last week to place the bond issue question on the ballot.
The Holton Recorder reports the 20-year bond issue would pay for the completion of a plan to upgrade the heating and cooling system at the Holton High School and Holton Middle School.
During a special meeting in March, the USD 336 Board approved a plan to spend up to $975,000 in capital outlay funds to start the work.
Superintendent Bob Davies said if the bond issue is approved, it will not increase local taxes in the district because of the refinancing of the last bond issue that was used to build a new pre-K through fifth grade elementary school.
Davies added the state will reimburse the district for 32 percent to 38 percent of the bond issue.
School official say there have been problems with the current heating and cooling system and controls at Holton High School for at least a decade.
