Voters in several counties will head to the polls today.

In Russellville, voters will decide whether to approve a $2 million school bond issue.

The measure would allow the district to tap as much as $2 million in federal stimulus funds for upgrades to the elementary building, including new doors and electrical upgrades.

The bond issue will not raise the local property tax.

A similar bond issue is on the ballot at the North Callaway School District.

The district is asking voters to approve a $2.5 million bond for maintenance items and to improve air quality at all four buildings.  

Superintendent Bryan Thomsen says a portion of the bond money would be attained at zero percent interest, because of two state programs utilizing federal stimulus money.

Thomsen says the proposal has the potential to save the district up to $400,000.
