(Manning) IKM/Manning School District Patrons will decide on a $19.2 million bond issue on Tuesday. The polls open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m.
The bond issue would create a K-12 center in Manning and “provide funds to renovate, remodel, repair, improve, furnish and equip an addition to the Manning School Building, and improve the site.
The District has said the approximate overall tax rate impact for the District, is $2.00 per $1,000 taxable valuation, or an additional $100.45 per year on residential property valued at $100,000, and $180 for Commercial property with the same valuation.
School Officials have pointed out one-factor voters may consider there is a decline in interest rates due to COVID-19, which would help the District secure $3.2 million of the project cost without taxing. The bond would also finance the renovation of the elementary section and support finance upgrades in the next few years to the high school, added in the 1970s.
The Irwin Community Building is the voting site for Shelby and Audubon County residents. Carroll County voters will cast their ballots at the Sacred Heart Church Hall in Manning, and the Crawford County voters will vote at the Manilla Fire Station.
