Concerns Aired At Ayersville

On Mon­day evening, the Ayersville Local Board of Edu­ca­tion, at their reg­u­larly sched­uled meet­ing, addressed pub­lic con­cerns about the upcom­ing bond issue at the May 6 pri­mary elec­tion.

The Cres­cent News reports that n the bal­lot will be a 37-year, 7.86-mill bond issue com­bined with a 0.5 per­cent income tax for con­struc­tion of a new pre-K through grade 12 build­ing through the Ohio Facil­i­ties Con­struc­tion Com­mis­sion. The income tax would cover the 0.5-mill con­tin­u­ing per­ma­nent improve­ment require­ment.

The total cost of the project comes to approx­i­mately $39,183,075, with the total local share being $18.8 million.
