It is now in the hands of the patrons of the Minden School District to determine the outcome of a special bond election set for Tuesday, September 10.

School board member Ken Carpenter made the motion to consider the scope of the project and board member Justin Glanzer seconded the motion to call a bond election for approximately $26 million ($25,995,000). Voting yes were Dr. Julie Krull, Richard Jacobsen, Craig Grams, Rusty Rhynalds, Carpenter and Glanzer.
