St. Joseph Schools will be getting some building improvements, bus replacements, technology upgrades, and security enhancements following a Tuesday election. Voters approved an $8.4 million bond issue, 1,324 to 1,087. The bonds will be issued in 2016, 2020, and 2024. The bond for this year will cost the owner of a home with an assessed value of $100,000 an additional $35 for the year. St. Joseph Schools Superintendent Ann Cardon issued a statement Tuesday night, saying because of the bonds, the “district can now move forward with our sustainability plan.” She thanked the voters for their support of St. Joseph Schools. Meanwhile, voters in the Brandywine School district also approved a levy Tuesday. It’s to create a sinking fund for building improvements and construction. That issue passed 232 to 201.
