Colton School seeks $5.6 million bond

A Colton school improvements and security bond will go before the voters April 23.

The $5.6 million 30-year bond would fund a new entryway to the building, gravel parking lot and energy-efficiency changes including heating, air conditioning, electrical and plumbing.

It will be the third effort to pass a Colton school bond in the past three years.

“More than anything we’ve tried to go through and prioritize,” said Superintendent Nate Smith.

Previous measures which failed in the fall of 2010 and spring of 2011 featured a gym addition, new bus barn and site and landscape improvements.
