If you have driven through local towns or viewed social media in recent months, you have likely noticed the school proposition on Tuesday's ballot is getting plenty of attention from both sides.
Voters in the Prairie Central School District will consider a proposition in the General Election to issue $45,000,000 in school building bonds to build and equip a new elementary school building likely to be built in Fairbury. Plans call for closing the schools in Chenoa and Chatsworth.
This also includes repairs and site improvements to Prairie Central High School, Prairie Central Junior High and Upper Elementary. It will be a “yes” or “no” vote.
The ballot question reads: “Shall the Board of Education of Prairie Central Community Unit School District Number 8, Livingston, McLean and Ford counties, Illinois, build and equip an elementary school building, alter, repair and equip the Prairie Central High School, Junior High School and Upper Elementary School Buildings, improve sites and issue bonds of said School District to the amount of $45,000,000 for the purpose of paying the costs thereof?
A large voter turnout is expected Tuesday since it is a Presidential election year. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
