Schools look for new funding sources
The time has been changed for Wednesday’s meeting of a committee trying to find new sources of revenue for Washoe County school construction and repair.
The meeting will be at 9 a.m. at the school district administration building, 425 E. Ninth St., Reno. “There’s big decisions to be made in the next couple of meetings,” said Assemblywoman Debbie Smith, D-Sparks, a member of the School Construction and Revitalization Advisory Committee. “We’ve spent the last several months basically focusing on the need (of the school district) and now we have one month to come up with a plan to put before the voters.”
After nearly six months of discussion, the panel plans to review specific details of new revenue options that might require voter approval Nov. 4, such as authority for a bond sale.
