(KNZA)--Voters in the Doniphan West school district will go to the polls Tuesday to decide the fate of $6.3 million bond issue for facility improvements

The Doniphan West USD 111 Board of Education approved a resolution last October to pursue the bond issue after two years of in-depth study and community collaboration.

If the bond issues passes, the school district says the funding would be used to address four key priority areas. They include safety and security enhancements, HVAC and electrical upgrades, structural repairs and roof replacements, site improvements, and enhanced educational spaces.

The bond issue would require a 6.1 mill levy increase levy over a 20-year period to pay for the bonds and interest.

The polls will be open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Voters may cast their ballots at the Doniphan West south campus in Denton, Highland Community Center in Highland, and American Legion building in White Cloud.
