CASSELTON, N.D. (AP) — Voters in the Central Cass School District will be deciding a bond issue to handle what district officials say is unprecedented student growth.?
Two previous referendums have failed, leading leaders in the Casselton area to come up with a proposal that combines public and private funding.
KFGO radio reports (http://bit.ly/2bxzJnj ) that the board last month approved an $18 million dollar referendum and another $8 million through private fund raising. An anonymous donor pledged $1 million contingent on the district raising its fund raising goal.?
The school district has purchased 20 acres next to the current school in Casselton for an elementary school addition, and a multi-use space for both use by the school and community. It would include a theater and auxiliary gym.
The vote is set for Oct. 4.
