(Area) – A handful of school districts in the area are holding special elections, Tuesday. The Polls will be open from 7-a.m. until 8-p.m.  Locally, patrons in the Exira-EHK School District Special Election are being asked to renew a Revenue Purpose Statement (RPS) [Public Measure A], and a 10-year Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) [Public Measure B],  both of which are already in place. District officials say neither measure will result in a property tax increase. The polling places include the Exira Event Center for eligible voters in Audubon, Casss and Guthrie Counties, and the Elk Horn Town Hall for eligible voters in Shelby County.

Patrons in the IKM-Manning School District are being asked to vote on the use of $7.9-million in school infrastructure sales service and use tax revenue bonds towards a series of construction and renovation projects at the Manning campus. The 20-year revenue bond would allow the district to borrow up to 78% of SAVE money.

Southwest Valley School District patrons will vote Tuesday on a $19.2 million bond referendum. Schools Superintendent Chris Fenster says if approved, the bond will be used to fund new learning classrooms for the district’s elementary students, and remodel other areas of the elementary to house the Early Childhood Education Center.  Additionally, the plan consists of upgrading the baseball and softball fields, and replacing the wooden playground equipment with an ADA-compliant facility. All voting will take place at the Corning Community Center for those eligible of the Corning Community School District who reside in Adams and Taylor County.

If you have any questions about where to vote, Tuesday, please contact your County Auditor’s Office or visit their website.
