Brookfield bond committee seeks public input

BROOKFIELD — The Brookfield Bond Issue Committee is looking for public opinion on where a new school building should be located.

School district residents will vote in November on a 7.4-mill bond issue to raise local funds to build and maintain a new K-12 building. The committee will meet at 6 p.m. Monday in the Brookfield High School cafeteria and will conduct a survey asking people what they want in a new school, whether it should be one or two floors and where it should be located.

The Ohio School Facilities Commission has pledged $20.1 million toward the proposed $31 million project. The bond issue will cover the local share of construction as well as provide funds for long-term maintenance of the facility, a committee spokeswoman said.

The committee will continue to have meetings at the high school at 6 p.m. every Monday until election day.
