No special election for Poland school district voters

POLAND

The board of education announced tonight it will not place a facilities improvements bond issue on an August special election ballot.

Board President Richard Weaver read a brief statement, part of which said: “This decision will allow the board to continue the process of informing our community on the necessity of facility improvements as well as seeking input from our residents on a vision that can be supported.”

Though the measure will definitely not be on August’s ballot, Weaver said the board may or may not go back to voters for approval of the issue at a later time.

Last November, district voters soundly defeated a bond issue and tax levy that would have financed the construction of a new campus-style school.
