Clarkston School District voters will decide this fall on a $60.5 million school improvement bond.

The Clarkston School Board on Monday approved a resolution to put the measure on the Nov. 7 ballot.

The bond would pay for replacing a large portion of Clarkston High School and its athletic fields, as well as other improvements across the district.

Another $12.5 million is expected from the state of Washington, bringing the proposed project’s total to $73 million.

The proposed design for the high school project includes an estimated property tax rate of $2.49 per $1,000 of assessed value for a 25-year term, or $2.85 per $1,000 of assessed value for a 20-year term.

School construction bonds in Washington require a 60 percent supermajority to pass.  (LMT)
