Charles City School District Needs 445 Signatures for $27 Million Bond Referendum Petition

The possibility of staff reductions in the Charles City School District comes while the School Board is looking to get a $27 million bond referendum before voters on March 7th.

Last week, the district released the petition to stakeholders in the district with 445 signatures needed to get the measure on the ballot. Signatures would need to be collected and presented by the January 9th School Board meeting and submitted to the Floyd County Auditor’s Office by January 20th.

Darcy Tracey with Prologue Books and Wine is the information co-chair and says the petition is available to sign at her store on Main Street and the Central Services building just south of the High School.

In addition to upgrades and remodeling, Tracey says the bond would also fund a notable addition to the High School.

Tracey adds that stakeholders are welcome to take a look at the building before signing the petition.

Details of the bond referendum, the plan for improvements at the High School and petition language can be found at www.CharlesCitySchools.org.
