Board votes to put bond on ballot

The Camas School Board unanimously approved putting a $120 million measure on the Feb. 9, 2016, ballot Monday night.

“After a thorough community process of gathering input, our board approved a bond resolution for placement on the Feb. 9 ballot that we believe will enable the Camas School District to meet the current and future capacity needs of our students, as well as make critical safety and security improvements to our facilities,” said Mary Tipton, board president.
