Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown Public School Board, meeting in special session Tues,   voted 9 to 0, to approve a $34 million referendum to be put before voters in a special election slated for September 25, at the Jamestown Civic center. 

Voters previously rejected a $19 million referendum,  and last evening Jamestown School Superintendent Rob Lech said, it will be up to the school district to disseminate the information to the public before the vote takes place.

The package includes  a number infrastructure updates, as established over the past year a half by the Citizens Advisory Committee.

Board member Robert Toso said  many want to see the football field remain at Washington Elementary School, rather than move it to the high school field area.

He added that voters should consider all options in the plan, and the big picture on how it will benefit all schools.

Board member Diane Hanson added the Transition House is also a contentious issue.

Board member Jennifer Schmidt said that many individuals have told her that they were looking forward to the improvements.

School officials ask that those with questions on the project to contact Jamestown Public School’s or E-Mail  Lech at Robert.Lech@k12.nd.us.

The meeting was recorded by CSi 10 The Replay Channel with showings starting Wednesday.
