The Dufur School District is seeking approval of a four-million-dollar bond measure during the November election that will allow it to claim a four million dollar matching grant from the state.  The district plans to use the funds to do safety and security improvements, maximize use of existing facilities, re-work some of its transportation services, and increase energy efficiencies in district buildings.  The proposed property tax rate of a $1.71 per thousand dollars of assessed value is lower than the approximately $3 per thousand for the district’s previous bond that was retired in June.  Informational meetings on the bond measure are scheduled for September 19 in the Celilo Village Education Center and September 24, October 15, and October 29 in the Dufur School cafeteria.  All begin at 7 p.m.
