The co-chair of the Say Yes to JCHS campaign, Jim Schmidt, said Monday he is proud of what the committee accomplished. He noted there is a possibility of a record turnout on Tuesday. Schmidt spoke to the Board of Education during their monthly meeting at the Devin Center in Junction City.

The other co-chair of the committee, Terrah Stroda asked urged those at the meeting to vote today ( Tuesday ), and to call everyone you know to ask them to vote.

The committee worked to support the proposed new Junction City High School project. Today ( Tuesday ) voters will go to the polls to cast ballots on a bond issue, which if approved would guarantee State funding for 47% of the project. The remainder of the money would come from heavy federal impact aid received by the school district. Officials with USD 475 have made it clear that there would be no increase in the property tax levy.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Board of Education Chair Dr. Ferrell Miller told the BOE audience no matter what the outcome of the election he could not imagine any more could have been done on the part of that committee. Board member Brian Field stated Tuesday is the community’s chance to speak, and encourage everybody to get out and vote. Board member Carolyn Gaston thanked the committee for their efforts.

Voters can also cast ballots on Board of Education, city commission, city council and mayor candidates in the election.

You can get the results Tuesday night here at JC Post or on 1420 KJCK AM.
