Do You Have Bond Questions?

Thu., Aug. 6, 1998

Do you have questions about Central Valley School District’s upcoming school bond election?

The Valley Voice is ready to find answers for you.

The $78 million bond issue, which voters will decide on Sept. 15, would build a new University High School at 32nd and Pines and completely renovate Central Valley High School on Sullivan.

Q: How much will it cost me?

A: The bond issue, while the largest attempted school bond in the history of Spokane County, works out to a tax rate of 57 cents per $1,000 in assessed property valuation. That’s about two-thirds of the tax rate that Mead School District voters are paying for the year-old Mt. Spokane High School. Paying off the CV bonds would take 20 years.

Write, phone, fax or e-mail your questions. Between now and election day, the Valley Voice will endeavor to answer as many questions as possible, so as to inform readers before they vote.
