The Bartlesville Public Schools Board of Education has called a special meeting for Monday afternoon to discuss a resolution for an Aug. 25 bond election, reorganize board leadership and potentially accept the resignation of a board member.
 
Following months of study on school district needs and growth, a committee of educators recommend a $38.25 million bond issue for construction, maintenance, equipment, renovation and educational materials, and a $2.25 bond question for transportation needs. By law, the two bonds must appear as separate ballot propositions and pass by 60% of the vote. The proposals will not increase taxes/
 
The $38.25 million bond question includes more than $20.5 million for facilities, $8.2 million for technology, $4.4 million for textbooks and curriculum, $2.4 million for equipment and $475,000 for student safety.
 
PROPOSED BOND PROJECTS
 
The board is expected to accept the resignation of Ward 6 Member, Board Vice President and Deputy Clerk Andrea Nightingale and vote to reorganize the positions of board president, vice president and clerk.
 
Monday's meeting begins at noon at the Education Service Center, 1100 S. Jennings Ave.
