 Tomorrow is the date the Newton School Board has set for approving the bid for the sale of 10-million dollars of School Infrastructure, Sales, Services, and Use Tax Revenue Bonds. Tim Bloom, the Director of Business Services in the Newton School District, says the bond revenue will pay for the first phase of the additions and renovations at Aurora Heights and Thomas Jefferson elementaries. They will be the two school buildings used out of the four in Newton, once they have each been updated to hold up to 500 Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade students. The Emerson Hough and Woodrow Wilson Schools will close. Bloom notes a 2nd bond issue to complete the funding will be done later, saving the district money on interest.
