Dunn County approves $5 million in school bond grant applications, to be prorated by county student counts
Summary
Commissioners voted to move forward with $5 million in school bond grant applications; staff said funds will be prorated to eligible districts based on average daily attendance (county students).
The Dunn County Board of Commissioners voted to proceed with school bond grant applications totaling $5 million and directed staff to distribute application materials to local schools.
Sally told commissioners the $5 million was added to the budget for the school bond grant program and that each participating school must submit an application indicating intended use; allocations will be prorated on each district’s report of average daily attendance for Dun County students. Named districts expected to participate included Bula, Richard, Southart, Dickinson and Kilder (as listed during the meeting).
Commissioner Pelton moved to proceed with the program and Commissioner Olsen seconded; a roll-call vote recorded several yes votes and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The program directs a meaningful one-time sum to schools with sinking-interest bonds, and the county’s process will determine specific local allocations based on student residency counts.
Next steps: Staff will send application packets to eligible school districts; commissioners will review submitted applications and finalize prorated allocations per county student counts.
