DPS Superintendent Harvilee Moore at Voting Booth (Deming) – Early, in-person voting for the school bond election begins Wednesday.
The special school district election to be held February 4th is asking voters to authorize the issuance of up to $27 million of additional general obligation bonds to build a new high school and replace the intermediate school.
If approved by voters, the new bonds will not raise property tax bills because school officials say the bonds will be issued in amounts and times designed to maintain a stable tax rate.
The cost of building a new high school on the site of the current school is estimated to be $73.5 million. Of that amount, $21.75 million would come from the bond proceeds, and the remaining $51.75 million would come from the state.
The second project, building a new intermediate school at a yet-to-be-announced location, has a projected cost of $17.7 million, of which $5.25 million would come from bond proceeds and $12.45 million would come from the state.
The Luna County Clerk’s office began issuing absentee ballots Friday, January 10th, and early and absentee voting on an electronic machine begins January 15th. January 31st is the final day of absentee and early voting.
The February 4th election will use the new county voting convenience centers at the Mimbres Valley Learning Center, Holy Family Parish Hall and the Columbus Village Library. Registered voters may vote at any of those locations on election day.
