School Board Approves Resolution for Capital Building Bond Referendum
The Columbia Heights School Board, through a resolution passed May 22, is asking voters to consider funding for facility needs at North Park Elementary School and Columbia Heights High School (CHHS). Five of the six members (one absent) passed a resolution at the May 22 Regular Meeting to present three Capital Building Bond ballot questions that address the following:
• North Park Elementary School Improvements
• CHHS Performing Arts Space Improvements
• CHHS new Band Room Addition
The three questions will be placed on the Nov. 6, 2018 ballot.
The projected budget for the three requests are $12,476,758 for North Park Improvements, $1,751,538 for the CHHS Performing Arts Space Improvements and $2,785,015 for new Band Room Addition at CHHS. The approximate total is $17,013,311. Director of Finance and Operations Kristine Carr says there are approximately $1.8 million in Priority 1 maintenance items that are not included in the Bond request. She shared that funds for these projects will be made available through the 2014 Capital Projects Levy and Long-Term Facility Maintenance funding through the Department of Education.
The specifics of the projects, the resolution and the ballot questions, are available at www.colheights.k12.mn.us/2018Bond.
