Bismarck Schools Reconsider Bond Measure | Bismarck News

Bismarck School Board faces a tough choice after voters narrowly rejected a $127 million bond measure aimed at boosting school safety, updating aging buildings, and improving accessibility — falling just short of the 60% needed to pass. With pressing needs still unmet and limited funds, the district is weighing a revised referendum for November’s ballot, hoping a broader voter base will tip the scale. Superintendent Dr. Jeff Fastnacht emphasized that the core issues remain urgent, even without the funding. Though no decisions were made at the latest meeting, the board could decide at their August 10th meeting whether to give it another shot — buoyed by the fact that nearly 59% of voters still backed the initiative.
