Meeting about bond referendum set

A public meeting to discuss a May 9 election on a proposed Marion-Florence school bond election will be 7 p.m. April 12 at the Performing Arts Center.

The school district hopes to borrow $3.26 million to add new locker rooms, concession stand, and public restrooms at the football/track stadium and new lighting for the baseball and softball diamonds.

The borrowing would replace now-paid-off borrowing that built the Performing Arts Center and Sports and Aquatics Center.

“Please come to listen to the information in order to be an informed voter for the May 9 vote,” interim superintendent Lee Leiker said.
