Moundridge USD 423 proposes smaller bond issue; uses area contractors

Ballots should appear in the mailboxes of Moundridge USD 423 voters this week.

Ballots must be back in the McPherson County Clerk’s office by noon Feb. 26, according to the McPherson County Clerk staff. Postage for the return mailing is included, so voters will not have to supply a stamp, staff said.

Moundridge USD voters rejected a $23.8 million bond issue in 2016 and a second one, smaller but also over $20 million, in 2017.

The new proposal costs less, uses area contractors, and addresses Greer gym – three issues USD 423 patrons said they wanted, according to school district officials.

School board member Dwight Goering said he’s “optimistic, but it still has to pass.”
