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.
