April Election School District Issues

(St. Francois County, MO) Voters in the Bismarck School District will decide the fate of a no tax increase bond issue in the April elections. The measure would bring in approximately $2,750,000 for renovations to the original High School gymnasium, restrooms, and kitchen; enhance safety and security measures; replace the Preschool playground surface; improve the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units; repair parking lots and the community walking track; complete upgrades to the softball field, and perform other improvements to the extent funds are available. If this proposition is approved, the adjusted debt service levy of the School District is estimated to remain unchanged. A similar issue is on the ballot in the West County School District for $4,750,000 with a focus on Elementary School improvements. If passed that proposal is approved its adjusted debt service levy of the district would also remain unchanged.
