School District Question 1
Approving Bond Issue and Changing Authorized Use of Bond Proceeds
The school board of Independent School District No. 739 (Kimball Area Public Schools) has proposed a project for the acquisition and betterment of school sites and facilities, including the construction of secure entrances; the construction and equipping of a new pre-kindergarten classroom addition; remodeling and updates to the Kimball High School science and FACS classrooms; and converting existing classroom spaces at the Kimball Elementary School into a cafeteria. To provide funds for the project costs, the school board has proposed to issue general obligation school building bonds in an amount not to exceed $8,170,000.
The school board also proposes to use approximately $2,200,000 of any remaining proceeds of the School District’s General Obligation Facilities Maintenance Bonds, Series 2020A, originally issued to fund the costs of certain improvements included in the School District’s ten-year facility plan approved by the school board and the Commissioner of Education which have since been completed, to fund the acquisition and betterment of school sites and facilities, including the completion of various deferred maintenance projects at school sites and facilities.
Shall the school board of Independent School District No. 739 (Kimball Area Public Schools) be authorized to issue its general obligation school building bonds and to use approximately $2,200,000 of any remaining proceeds of its General Obligation Facilities Maintenance Bonds, Series 2020A, to fund the acquisition and betterment of school sites and facilities?
