(KNZA)--The Jackson Heights USD 335 Board of Education Monday evening approved a resolution placing a $5 million general obligation bond issue on the November ballot to fund facility improvements.

Superintendent Jim Howard, in a release, said the district anticipates no increase in local property tax mill levies while still securing state aid and favorable bond interest rates.

The bond will fund:

. A middle school addition, including six new classrooms.

. An elementary school addition, featuring two classrooms, a music room, and a covered connection.

. Other necessary improvements to enhance safety, functionality, and learning environments.

“Due to responsible fiscal management, we can leverage local revenue to offset this bond, allowing our schools to benefit from state aid and lower interest rates without burdening taxpayers,” said Howard. “These improvements will directly support our students and staff while maintaining our commitment to financial efficiency.”

The bond election will be held during the November 5th general election.
