Clinton County R-III board approves spring 2026 bond ballot language, combines gym and storm shelter
Summary
The Board of Education of the Reorganized School District R-III of Clinton County approved ballot language for a spring 2026 bond that lists the new gym and a storm shelter as a single building; the resolution passed by roll call vote 5-0 and must be submitted to election authorities by Jan. 27.
The Board of Education of the Reorganized School District R-III of Clinton County, Missouri, on Jan. 21 approved final ballot language for a spring 2026 bond that lists the district's proposed new gym and a storm shelter as a single building rather than two separate structures.
Superintendent Dr. Sandy Steggall presented the final draft of the bond language and asked the board to approve it so the district could submit the language to election authorities by Jan. 27. Member Danny Parra moved to approve the resolution and bond language "as presented, with the new gym and storm shelter listed as one building rather than two separate structures," and Member Michael Burton seconded. The motion passed on a roll-call vote, 5-0 (Carnie ' Aye; Day ' Aye; Harris ' Aye; Parra ' Aye; Burton ' Aye).
Why it matters: the ballot language determines how the measure will appear to voters and can affect clarity about what projects would be funded. The board committed to submitting the approved language by Jan. 27 so the question can appear on the spring ballot.
The board did not disclose bond size, dollar amounts, phasing or a detailed financing plan during the meeting. Dr. Steggall presented the language for approval and the board took final action to approve that language; additional details about the bond amount, tax impact and project timeline were not specified in the meeting record.
Next steps: the approved ballot language will be submitted to election authorities by the Jan. 27 deadline and the district will proceed with election preparations for the spring ballot.
