Voters residing in parts of DeSoto Parish participated in a November 18 election for two separate bond propositions. Districts 1 (Logansport) and 2 (North DeSoto) had questions on the ballot with proposals to modernize facilities, upgrade safety and security, and construct a new school to address rapid growth.
Voters in Logansport (District no. 1) approved a $23 million building bond proposal focused on the safety, security, and modernization of current facilities. Unofficial vote counts were 470 in favor and 430 against, with 900 total voters participating in the election.
Because the bond was approved, the plan can move forward to construct a central corridor with secure access points, provide updates to the stadium and gymnasium area, and add spaces that will eliminate the need for mobile classrooms and provide more effective and efficient spaces for programming.
