At their next regular meeting on Tuesday, Ferndale School Board members will discuss what to do next after a bond issue proposition on the 2018 General Election ballot came close but failed to garner the 60% super majority voter approval needed.
The agenda for the regular meeting of the Ferndale School Board on November 27th includes a discussion among the board members about whether to run the bond proposition again in 2019. Ferndale School District Superintendent Dr. Linda Quinn and Assistant Superintendent Mark Deebach are expected to report their findings after the recent bond issue failed.
Quinn said during a recent town hall meeting, comments received since the election would be considered by the board members as they planned their next steps.
Later on in the agenda is a resolution for school board members to vote on that would authorize putting the $112 million bond ballot proposition back in front of voters in a February 2019 special election.
