The Dubuque Community School board has decided to give voters in the district the chance to decide the fate of a bond referendum to construct a new middle school.
Last night at their monthly meeting the board voted unanimously to adopt a resolution ordering an election on the issuance of $70 million in general obligation bonds. If approved, the funds would be combined with another nearly 52-million from the one cent sales tax fund to pay for the new school combining Washington and Jefferson in one building.
The measure on the November 4th ballot and require 60 percent approval to pass.
