Fayette County Faces School Building Shortage and Tax Plans
The Fayette County Board of Education and community leaders warn state funds are unlikely to cover needed school buildings. They push for a bond issue to raise 300000 for a new auditorium and gym at Mount Hope, plus improvements to several aged sites. Proposals include a 10 year higher tax plan or a 20 year program to fund construction and renovations. Oregon State educational leaders and the local newspaper unit back plans, with government aid possible if local taxes pass.
