It involves improvements, repairs and renovations of parking lots, roof replacements and HVAC upgrades.

Southern Boone R-1 Superintendent Dr. Tim Roth says the bond issue will ensure that the buildings and infrastructure the community relies on will continue to serve students/families for years to come.

Passage requires a four-sevenths majority, which is 57 percent.
