School bond issue will be on November ballot in Springfield, MO
Two major money issues are well on their way to being on the November ballot. Tuesday night, the Springfield School Board unanimously voted to put a $50-million bond issue on the ballot. Several people spoke out against it because of some of the projects currently proposed under the bond— like turning Study Middle School into a K-12 alternative school and expanding Westport Elementary. Some also said it would be bad timing for voters if the city decides to put another sales tax initiative on the ballot to help the ailing police and fire pension.
