BOTTINEAU, N.D. (AP) - Voters in the Bottineau school district have overwhelmingly approved a $7.6 million school upgrade.
Nearly 1,000 people voted Wednesday, and unofficial results show 85 percent of them favored a bond issue to fund the project. Sixty percent approval was required.
Superintendent Pat Renden says the district will build a new preschool through second grade addition onto its existing elementary and high school. Officials hope to break ground in the spring and have the project complete by the fall of 2020.
The district covers Bottineau County as well as parts of Rolette, Pierce, and McHenry Counties. Brenden says the owner of a $200,000 home will pay about $59 more per year in taxes to pay off the bond.
