The Grand Forks School Board finalized results of the June 22 referendum and approved the district’s application to the state for $8.2 million in federal ESSER II funds at a special meeting Monday, June 28. ESSER stands for Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief.
Both referendum questions – one to raise the mill levy for the building fund and the other to issue $86 million in bonds for a new consolidated school on the city’s north side and other facility needs – failed to gain the 60% approval for passage in last week s vote. The yes votes totaled 30% and 54%, respectively.
