Bismarck Schools Aim Smaller Bond | Bismarck News

Bismarck Public Schools is rolling back on a massive bond proposal after last year’s $127 million effort fell short, now aiming for a more modest $116 million to fund critical school upgrades. District leaders argue this smaller ask is a “no-brainer” for students, teachers, and the community, stressing that delaying improvements could cost even more down the road. With three major projects totaling $26 million, the board is weighing timing — likely April — to give voters another chance, while acknowledging that a higher tax rate would strain taxpayers. They’re determined to move forward, even if it means a smaller, smarter investment in their children’s future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
