Spending Priorities

The Pleasant Valley School District is asking voters to approve a $49-million bond measure on the Nov. 4 ballot to help build new schools and renovate existing facilities. About $8.5 million will go toward modernization projects at all schools, while another $3 million will pay for new classrooms to keep pace with growth and class-size reduction.
