(ABC 6 News) - Voters in Byron are going back to the polls in May.
The Byron Public School Board approved a new bond referendum Monday asking for $41 million.
Classrooms in Byron s high school and primary school are almost full. This year, school officials predict the high school will be over capacity and they expect enrollment to grow even more.
One study predicted student enrollment could grow up to 418 students by 2030. Enrollment between 2010 and 2020 grew by 486 students. You get a great education here with tremendous staff, Dr. Joey Page, Byron Public Schools superintendent said.
Page said the proximity to Rochester and its open enrollment opportunity has contributed to the growth.
