School Bond Levy Discussed at Lincoln BOE Meeting

LINCOLN COUNTY, W.Va. -- An upcoming school bond levy was the top topic at Tuesday night’s Board of Education meeting.

Early voting gets underway this week for a school bond levy in Lincoln County, and Board of Education members talked about just how crucial it is if the measure passes.

The bond would provide more than $40 million in funding. Board members say they would use that money to build two brand new schools, upgrade classrooms and build an on-site athletic facility at Lincoln County High School.

During the last few weeks, board members have held informational meetings about the bond and how it will affect taxes.

One more meeting is scheduled this week, beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday at Midway Elementary School.
