Grove Passes School Bond Issue

Grove voters passed by a 72% margin a $7.4 million school bond issue this week which will provide for much needed new school facilities for pre-school, kindergarten, upper elementary and middle school students. The vote was 1417 for, 557 against.
Impact on property owners will be about an additional $85 per $100,000 in home valuation.
The money will go for a new early childhood center with 36,420 square feet and 20 classrooms for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students; a 15,950 square foot addition to the upper elementary school with 20 classrooms, two special ed rooms, computer lab and media center, administration area and teachers' workroom; and addition of 6,195 square feet to the middle school cafeteria with expanded seating for 400 students, who now eat in shifts from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Passage of the issue required a 60 per cent majority.
