Mid-Prairie’s bond referendum is a little over a month away. The $10,640,000 bond issue that voters will decide on will finance a handful of projects including the construction of a combined central office and alternative learning center near the high school.

If passed, the current property tax levy for the bond issue passed in 1996 of $1.48 per $1,000 in taxable value would increase to $2.08.

The property tax rate would also increase to $12.40 from $11.91. When compared to other local school districts, that rate still remains lower than that of the Washington and Highland School Districts
