Hinton voters will be asked in Tuesday’s school and local general election to approve two funding measures to provide millions of dollars to expand and modernize the district's facilities. Hinton High School is 100 years old.
The voters will be asked to approve a $16.1 million-dollar bond issue and a question to raise the district's maximum debt levy amount. Both of those measures must receive 60% voter approval to pass. If only one question is approved, the bond issue would fail.
Voters will also be asked consider extending the current Physical Plant and Equipment Levy, or PPEL fund for 10 years. Those two measures just need 50% approval to pass.
