School Bond Vote Planned For February for West Fargo Public School District

WEST FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — West Fargo Public School District voters are being asked to approve around $163 million in building bonds.

A special election will take place on February 17 at a number of schools, since classes will be out that day.

Voters will be faced with deciding three questions on the ballot and each requires 60% approval to pass.

The first question, which includes around $100 million and includes the completion of expansions at Horace High School and Heritage Middle School, must pass for the following two questions to be approved.

Question two is around $58 million for a new elementary school and renovations.

Question three would provide $5 million for a third sheet of ice at Veterans Memorial Arena.

If all three pass, the owner of a $320,000 home would pay an estimated additional $280 a year in taxes.

The district’s last referendum failed a year ago.
