The Highland Community School District eyes a September election for a $3.7 million bond issue.

The funds would go towards upgrading the HVAC system and windows at the secondary school, updating the playgrounds, and adding storage space within the fine arts department. Former Superintendent and current consultant for the Highland School District Dr. Mike Jorgensen says he believes with rising property valuations and with how the district has handled their finances over the last few years, the district will be able to maintain the current tax rate while paying off the bonds over the next eight years. Dr Jorgensen also told the school board that they have the flexibility to extend the length of the loan if they wanted to lower the tax rate. The election would take place Tuesday, September 10th.
