The school board approved the ballot title for the bond, which will go before
Sisters voters in May. The bond issue would provide $3 million to construct
eight new classrooms at the elementary school and proposes an additional $2
million for maintenance projects.
"We just want you to know that we support it and we want you to go full
steam ahead on it," Boudreau told the board.
Earl Armbruster, Business Manager for the district, told the board that an
advocacy group has formed in the community to drum up community support for
the bond.
"They hope to mount an aggressive campaign to get the bond passed,"
Armbruster said.
Boudreau told The Nugget that teachers ñjust didn't realize that the
support wasn't there in the communityî when the same bond failed last
November.
She said that she personally was surprised by the previous bond's defeat.
"I feel now we need to be a little more proactive," she said.
