(KNZA)-Voters in Jefferson West USD 340 will decide the fate of a new bond proposal during a March 3rd special election, and district leaders are inviting the community to learn more before heading to the polls.
Two public meetings are scheduled this month. The first will be held Sunday, February 22nd at 3:30 p.m. in the Middle School commons, and the second meeting is set for Wednesday, February 25th at 6:00 p.m. in the High School library.
In December, the USD 340 Board of Education approved a resolution to place a 17-point-5 million dollar bond issue on the ballot.
The proposal follows the defeat of a 21 million dollar bond measure in November of 2024.
Superintendent Dr. Brad Neuenswander says the updated plan reflects months of research, planning, and community input.
If approved, the bond would fund improvements across all district facilities, including classroom additions, safety and security upgrades, HVAC and electrical improvements, and construction of a new track.
