BROKEN BOW, Neb. (AP) – Broken Bow district officials are planning another school bond issue. The $5.8 million proposal is aimed at upgrading one of the
district’s elementary schools. The proposal seeks far less money than the last two, which voters defeated. Last August, nearly 59 percent of district voters rejected a
bond issue of nearly $10 million that would have paid for additions to North Park Elementary and improvements at the middle and high school. In May 2008, a $9.4 million bond issue for a new elementary school was overwhelmingly defeated. Superintendent Virginia Moon told North Platte television station KNOP that the buildings are not air-conditioned, and several mechanical updates are needed at North Park Elementary. The bond election is scheduled for Sept. 13.
