Cimarron votes on 5.2M bond to enlarge school
Cimarron residents will decide in April on a 5.2 million bond to expand Cimarron Elementary School. The mill levy would rise 1.95 mills, with construction of 10 regular classrooms, an ESL room, restrooms, and a new PE classroom. A $100,000 home would incur about $1.87 more monthly in taxes. Growth in lower elementary class sizes drives the proposal.
