Jackson County just moved one step closer to putting the $105 million school bond referendum on the ballot for the Nov. 3 election.
At last week’s normally scheduled meeting, commissioners passed a resolution to publish a notice of “intent to file” for the bond with the North Carolina Local Government Commission.
They also met for a special meeting on Aug. 10 to vote on a resolution, which allows the county to file an application with the LGC to approve the borrowing.
“If it passes LGC, they’ll have to go to a public hearing, and then the decision will be on the ballot,” said Jackson County Public Schools Superintendent Dana Ayers after Monday night’s meeting.
