After unsuccessful attempts to address what Superintendent Becky Jones says is more than $150 million in needed upgrades to the Marshall School District, the district is asking again on the November 2024 ballot.
But, not before having surveyed voters in the district and making some adjustments. Still, the November ask totals about $90 million.
Jones returns to Community Matters to talk about what is different this time around – and how they hope to capitalize on the likely higher voter turnout of a presidential election.
