U City Schools to Seek $19.4 Million Bond in April

The Board of Education for the School District of University City approved a measure to place a $19.4 million, no-tax increase bond issue on the April 2013 ballot.

The board approved the measure 7-0.

A school facilities committee recommended the bond issue at a board workshop meeting Nov. 1.

The committee, which met several times this fall, had three overall recommendations for the board. They are:

• 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 (as shown below), 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.
