School Board to Vote on Facilities Committee Plan

The School District of University City school board is slated to meet at 7 p.m. tonight at the district's McNair Administration building.

The board is set to vote on a recommendation from the facilities steering committee on an April 2013 bond issue.

The board first heard the proposal at a workshop meeting earlier this month. 

The board will have an opportunity to accept recommendations from the facilities steering committee that answer the following questions: 

• The School District of University City place a $19.4 million, no tax rate increase bond issue on the April 2, 2013 ballot
• The projects to be covered by the bond issue are the Tier 1 projects, followed by the Tier 2 projects; which administration and the Board of Education should select from the Tier 2 projects to complete the $19.4 million
• The Board of Education directs the administration to develop and the Board should adopt a long-range plan to address major projects and future bond issues.

If the board accepts the report tonight, it will vote on whether to place the bond issue on the ballot at its December meeting.
