Bond votes on tap for four schools in Quay County
Four Quay County public schools face bond questions on the November 7 ballot. San Jon Municipal Schools could seek up to 350000, though district officials say 200000 to 250000 suffices. Approval could unlock up to 30 million from the state for a new school, with tax increases viewed as modest by superintendent Alan Umbholtz.
