Thanks to Tuesday’s election, a long awaited infrastructure upgrade will finally become reality for the Columbus School District. “They see the need, this is the same building that my parents went to school in, not much changed.” Says Taylor Spear, Central Elementary & Jr. High Teacher. On Tuesday, the Columbus School District’s proposed 14.75 million dollar bond project was approved. “Over 70 percent of the voters supported it. About six years ago they tried another bond issue and it failed. I think it was almost in reverse.” Says Brian Smith, Columbus USD 493 Superintendent. Officials say the success came from an open dialogue with the public about the safety benefits of turning Central Elementary and Jr. High School into an indoor campus.
