Nebo School District seeks public input on bond election

Nebo School District is in the initial planning process for a Bond Election to be held next year on November 6, 2018. Bonding is the primary method school districts use to construct new schools and meet other facility priorities. Bond money cannot be used for salaries and benefits.

The Nebo School Board’s decision on which projects to include will rely on public input and recommendations from parent committees. Go to www.nebo.edu to begin a survey on how bond money should be used.
