Pickerington Schools: Board mulls third ballot request within year
ThisWeek group
The Pickerington Schools board likely will decide by June 28 whether to ask voters for the third time in a year to approve a bond issue to fund a new junior high school and additions to buildings.
According to Pickerington Schools officials, the district's classroom space already is maxed out and its student body is expected to grow by another 1,800 students by 2028-29.
It's a quandary, the officials say, exacerbated by the defeats of bond issues last November and again May 4 that were designed to generate $95 million to build a new junior high school and add classroom space at buildings throughout the district.
