Topeka considers school bond measure amendment bill
In Topeka today a House committee advanced a bill to enable the education district to seek voter permission for an additional school bond issue. The measure, if approved by the House and sent to the Senate, would amend a 1945 law allowing a levy not to exceed mills for building.
