The Dufur School District Board has approved placing a four million dollar bond measure on the ballot in November.  The move comes shortly after the district received word from the Oregon Department of Education it had received a commitment for four million dollars under the state’s School Capital Matching Grant program.  But to receive the money, the district must get the bond measure approved.  The estimated tax rate would be $1.71 per $1,000 of assessed property value.  A current bond in the Dufur School District for about $3.00 per $1,000 of assessed value will be retired in June 2018.  If approved, the bond and grant proceeds would fund safety and security upgrades, transportation redesign and renovation, energy efficiency improvements in district building, and maximize the usability of existing facilities.
