Bond referendum debate tests Gaston County schools funding
Parents and residents clash over an $89 million bond plan to modernize Gaston County schools. Advocates argue state money covers most costs with no tax increase, while opponents warn of tax strain amid tax hikes and an economic downturn. Officials cite aging facilities and safety needs, with most funds earmarked for classroom additions, renovations, and maintenance.
