Daily Journal Reports Bill Puts School Buildings to Referendum

From the Johnson County Daily Journal:

Taxpayers will get a greater say on school buildings projects that cost more than $10 million if proposed changes to a state law are approved.

Currently, schools are required to conduct a referendum, or vote, when considering elementary or middle school projects that will cost more than $10 million or high school projects costing more than $20 million.

But a proposal working its way through the statehouse could change those limits, notably reducing the threshold for a public vote on high school projects.
