LAMAR, MO.--- The Lamar R-1 Board of Education voted to call a special election in April for a no tax increase bond issue. The bond issue would extend a current bond levy generating 8.5 million dollars. That's below the prior bond issue of 10 million dollars needed to fix structural issues throughout the district.
"We have to do a reassessment to see are there some roofs that we can postpone that we'd be able to do out of our capital reserves, the same with window replacements," states Dr. Dennis Wilson, Lamar Superintendent.
Before the winter break, a high school basketball game was relocated to the middle school gym because of a leaking roof. The superintendent says roofs that continue to have leaks will be priorities.
