Early voting is underway at the Howard County Courthouse on a proposal that would extend the millage of the Dierks School District.
A special election will take place on September 10th and the goal of the extension is to provide approximately $1,900,000 for constructing and equipping an elementary school classroom addition.
Dierks School Superintendent Jody Cowart says the extension does not increase the current millage rate. The requested rate of 43 mills represents the same rate presently being collected. The 11 debt mills are being requested to be extended through 2049.
Cowart says other funds generated by the millage extension will be utilized by the Dierks School District for HVAC replacement, roof repairs, parking lots, safety improvements and other building maintenance.
