DONALDSONVILLE – The Ascension Parish School Board will hold a special meeting Tuesday night to consider calling an election this fall for a $100 million bond issue.
The bond would fund renovating and replacing school buildings.
If the board adopts the resolution, and it is approved by the state, the election would be held Oct. 17.
The school buildings to be renovated or replaced will be discussed at the Tuesday meeting, which has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the B.C. Alwes auditorium, 501 Lee Ave., Donaldsonville.
Renovation plans include electrical upgrades to support technology in classrooms.
Voters in 2005 approved extending a property tax for a $69 million primary school bond issue. Two new schools opened last August, and three others are set to open Aug. 10 this school year. Orange Grove Primary is still being planned.
