River Trails School District 26 has approved the sale of $5 million in bonds, in part to pay for technology improvements to the district’s three schools.
About $3 million of the bond revenue will be used to buy new computers for the district, and to improve outdated electrical systems. As it is, the current system frequently breaks down and would not be able to handle the added burden of newer, faster computers, officials said. The remaining bond revenue, about $2 million, will be used to restructure the district’s debt, officials said.
The board also has approved a $13.8 million tax levy for 1997, up about 4.1 percent from last year.
