Monticello Board of Education Approves Referendum for Facilities

The Monticello Board of Education will ask the community for a third time to approve a referendum intended for facility updates.
 
Superintendent Dr. Vic Zimmerman indicates this will be the third referendum in the last six years or so. He indicates the proposal includes remodels and additions.
 
 
According to Dr. Zimmerman, the three referendums have each come at the recommendation of the community. He stresses, Monticello facilities need addressed to meet the learning standards of today's classrooms.
 
 
The Monticello community wanted the district to keep the tax rate in mind with their plan and Dr. Zimmerman explains the total project would be roughly $29-million, to be paid for through bonds and also the one-cent facilities sales tax revenues.
 
 
Dr. Zimmerman believes there is no reason Monticello students should not have the best facilities. He points out there is so much good happening across the district, the only thing lacking is facilities.
 
 
The future of the district's facilities need to be addressed and Dr. Zimmerman is optimistic they could adaquately educate students with the plan they have in place they are taking to the voters.
