Capital Improvement tax question approved

A Capital Improvements 2-Mill Tax Question was approved by voters on May 16 during a special election of the Logan Municipal Schools District.

There were 209 voters, which was 20 percent of the 1,018 registered voters in the Logan School District, who participated in the special election, said Ellen White, Quay County clerk.

White said the tax question passed 146 to 62 with a special election cost of $4,804. She said the same tax question had failed to pass during the regular school board election on Feb. 7 due to having a tied vote of 38 for and against.

The money generated by the 2-Mill tax will be used for capital improvements to the buildings, classrooms and technology at Logan Municipal Schools.
