The Woodland Chamber of Commerce has thrown its support behind a $52 million school bond issue set to go before voters in April.
The chamber voted 20-8 during Tuesday’s meeting in favor of the bond measure to build a new Woodland high school. The chamber joined the Woodland City Council and the Port of Woodland in endorsing the bond measure.
The bond issue would provide a new 147,000-square-foot high school that would meet students’ needs while meeting the needs of the community, Woodland Public Schools officials said.
The requested bond issue amount of nearly $52.84 million would cost Woodland property owners 96 cents per $1,000 of assessed home value, according to the school district.
