Glasgow School District Voters Will Vote On Bond To Pay for School Building Improvements

The Glasgow School Board met in regular session on Dec. 11, where the big topic of conversation was the potential for a bond election to pay for infrastructure improvements at all three schools within the school district. The Board decided to move forward with passing a resolution to provide voters the opportunity to pass a bond in the amount of $2.9 million to pay for the much-needed improvements in the school district.

The improvements would include replacing or repairing portions of the Glasgow Middle School roof and the Glasgow High School roof and related improvements. Also, replacing the boiler plant at Glasgow Middle School, refinancing a loan that paid for the costs of a new boiler at Glasgow High School, upgrading and/or retrofitting HVAC controls at Glasgow Middle School and Glasgow High School, decommissioning obsolete boilers at Glasgow Middle School and Glasgow High School and repairing a boiler at Irle Elementary School.

The election will be a mail ballot election with the Valley County Election Administrator conducting the election. Ballots will be mailed to school district voters on Feb. 13, with ballots due March 4. If passed by school district voters, the work on the infrastructure projects would begin later in 2025.
