McDowell Voters Set To Decide Bond Levy Fate June 19
McDowell County voters will weigh a 21.865 million dollar school bond on June 19. Superintendent J Kenneth Roberts says the plan funds four new schools and major renovations, with eight million for Caretta Little League campus and two point six million for Anawalt Gary elementary. Opponents led by Anawalt Community in Action argue the levy discriminates against North Elkin District and raises taxes while prompting longer bus rides. The plan also funds air conditioning and improvements at Kimball Elementary and Mount View High School upgrades.
