Mandan Will Get Their Two New Schools! According to a press release from Mandan Public Schools, the Mandan Public Schools bond referendum passes. That means the city of Mandan will get two new schools. A new High School to replace the current outdated facility and a brand new elementary school to help with a growing population. Voters in the Mandan Public School District approved an $84 million bond request last night, Tuesday, April 13th. There were 3,277 votes cast, a total of 2,551 voted in favor, while 726 voted against the referendum (these are unofficial results). This results in 77.85% of voters approving the bond referendum. A pretty convincing victory in favor of the two new schools.
