HUMBOLDT — Voters will decide on a $17.45 million bond issue Tuesday to renovate Humboldt schools.
Voting is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Humboldt Methodist Church, 806 N. Ninth St.
If successful, updates and renovations will include replacing heating and cooling systems at the elementary and middle schools, new fire alarm systems throughout, creating a new drop-off lane at the elementary school, replacing the roof at the elementary school, replacing windows in all three schools, adding a cafeteria at the elementary school and replacing the elevator at the high school.
The measure would raise the property taxes on a $75,000 home by almost $10 a month. The bond issue is for 25 years.
The USD 258 school district, which includes a sliver of Woodson County, has 1,197 registered voters.
Advance voting continues up until noon on Monday. As of Friday afternoon, 27 advanced votes had been received by the county clerk’s office.
