History was made in the Mehlville School District April 6 when voters passed the first bond issue on the ballot in the district since the 1990s, Proposition S, with over 80 percent of the vote. Projects start this summer.
Proposition S for “Safe Schools, Safe Kids,” a 12-cent, no-tax-rate-increase $35 million bond issue, uses funds that have paid off 2000’s Proposition P lease for facilities upgrades and secure entry vestibules at all of Mehlville’s 18 schools. Mehlville had been the only school district in St. Louis County without a bond issue in several decades.
Prop S passed with 80.1 percent of the vote, well above the 57 percent it needed to pass.
