Results from the September 25th election show that the 2018 New Albany School Bond
passed overwhelmingly.
Of 877 total votes cast, 811 voted in favor of the bond issue and 66 voted against, a
92.47% approval rate.
“With the passing of this bond issue, it shows that the New Albany community, once
again, has placed a high emphasis on our school district,” said Superintendent Lance
Evans.
With the passing of the $8.5 million bond, school board and administrators will begin
planning immediately so that renovations and repairs can begin in May 2019 as soon as
the 2018-2019 school year concludes.
Through the summer of 2019, repairs and renovations will occur on all school campuses
to include New Albany Elementary School, New Albany Middle School, New Albany
High School, New Albany School of Career & Technical Education, and the Alternative
School.
Repairs and renovations will include roof repairs and replacements; HVAC
replacements; and security upgrades. The focus of the renovations will address safety
and security; student comfort; and energy efficiency.
“We are so appreciative of our community’s support of our school district in this bond
issue,” Evans said. “It will help us in achieving our strategic plan’s goals and core values.”
