Amphi District Urges Bond To Ease Crowded Classrooms
Amphitheater district residents hear a $7.5 million bond proposal to fund a new junior high near Harelson, a cafeteria library and offices, and two new elementary schools as crowding and busing persist. Citizens committee chair Richard Damiani warns of higher costs if voters delay. Roy Mattson notes tax rates would rise to 2.11 per 100 assessed value if approved, then decline as old bonds are paid. A leaflet urges rejection as protest, while supporters frame it as benefiting students and education.
