THOMPSON, N.D. (AP) — Voters in the Thompson school district will decide the fate of an $11 million school expansion and renovation project.
Tuesday's bond election will be the third time in four years that residents have voted on school improvements. Proposals in 2012 and 2013 received majority support, but not the 60 percent majority that's required.
Superintendent John Maus tells WDAZ-TV that enrollment has risen every year since 2008, to nearly 500 students. The proposed project will include new classrooms, a new technical education wing and other improvements.
The bond issue would cost the owner of a $200,000 home an additional $600 in property taxes annually for the next two decades.
