N.D. (AP) – Voters in the Central Cass School District will be deciding a bond issue to handle what district officials say is unprecedented student growth.

Two previous referendums have failed, pushing leaders in the Casselton area to come up with a proposal that combines public and private funding.

The board last month approved an $18 million dollar referendum and another $8 million through private fund raising. An anonymous donor pledged $1 million contingent on the district raising its fund raising goal.

The school district has purchased 20 acres next to the current school in Casselton for an elementary school addition, and a multi-use space for both use by the school and community. It would include a theater and auxiliary gym. The vote is set for Oct. 4.
