Mandan voters will decide Tuesday whether to fund two new schools within the city s school district.
Mandan Public Schools is holding a special election on an $84 million bond issue to build an elementary and high school as enrollment continues to climb.
If passed by 60% of voters, the bond would fund a new elementary school in the Lakewood area and a new high school at a yet-to-be-determined site. The school board approved the special election in February after a district survey of Mandan residents found that a majority of respondents were in favor of building the new schools and that most said they would support a $90 million bond.
