Voter information for school vote on Sept. 12
On Sept 12, 2017, several school districts will ask the voters living in their district to approve general obligation bonds to provide funding for public school facilities. Voters in North Liberty are within either the Clear Creek Amana School District (generally west of Jones Boulevard) or the Iowa City Community School District (generally east of Jones Boulevard) and will have the opportunity to vote on one of those proposals, depending on in which district they reside.
We’re providing this information to help inform the community about the vote. Passage of either proposal requires approval of 60 percent. You can find your school polling place and other voter information at the Johnson County Auditor’s website.
