18,000 Expected To Vote On School Issues

School officials expect approximately 18,000 I persons to go to the polls tomorrow to decide the I fate of the Ann Arbor School District's three-part, $9.5 million bond issue and the Washtenaw I mediate School District's proposals to finance a county-wide vocational-technical education facility. The two school districts' proposals will share the same ballot, but are completely separate. According to state law, only property owners and their spouses may vote on the Ann Arbor School District's bond issue for school, administrative and library construction. All registered voters who live in the school districts of Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Lincoln, Manchester, Milan, Saline, Whitmore Lake, Willow Run or Ypsilanti may vote on Proposition I of the Intermedíate School District's issue. This is true regardless of whether the voter resides in Washtenaw County or in a neighboring county, since some school districts in the Washtenaw Intermedíate School District cross county boundary lines. Proposal I would approve a one-mill tax increase to finance the vocational facility. Only property owners residing in the school districts mentioned above may vote on Proposition II of the Intermedíate School District, however. This proposal would give the district authority to bond for construction of the $5 million facility. Voting machines will be used in the Ann Arbor and Chelsea school districts. Paper ballots are expected to be used in the school districts of Dexter, Lincoln, Manchester, Milan, Saline, Whitmore Lake, WiUow Run and Ypsilanti. Some of these districts regularly use paper ballots but others have been forced to because of the'recount of Daylight Savings Time votes which is presently taking place. In action last night, the Ann Arbor City Council unanimously endorsed both the Ann Arbor School District's bonding issue and the Intermediate School District's propositions, and urged voters to vote "yes" on all five propositions. In another recent action, the Ypsilanti Board of Education decided in executive session not to take a stand on the vocational education facility. Observers believe the reason the board will not make an endorsement is that it feels other educational facilities, including a new high school, are needed first in Ypsilanti. The other nine Boards of Education in the county have endorsed the vocational school. The Ann Arbor School District will present a three-part proposal to the voters. Each proposition may be accepted or rejected separately. Proposal I of the $9.5 million bond issue would finance a new junior high school in northeast Ann Arbor for $4,899,000; a 12-room elementarv school for $1,159,000; additions to Carpenter, Mitchell and Clinton schools for $711,000; major renovations at Slauson and Tappan junior highs and at Mack School for $396,000, and lesser renovations at Angelí, Bach, Burns Park, Jones Mack and Slauson schools for $240,000. Proposal I totals $7,405,000. Proposal II, which totals $1,325,000, would provide funds for a school services building and an administraron building, both to be located on the Pioneer High School site. The service facility would cost $436,000 and the administration building, $889,000. Proposal III for $775,000 would finance a 20,000-square-foot addition to the main public library at 343 S. Fifth Ave. The cost of the Ann Arbor School District's bond issue would be approximately a 1-mill tax increase figured over the next five years. This means a tax hike of about $1 per $1,000 of state equalizéd valuation. Propositions I and II of the Intermedíate School District ask for the millage and bonding authority, respectively, to construct and opérate an area vocational education program for county students. The one-mill tax increase for the vocational program would be levied annually for as long as the school is in operation. This likewise means a tax increase of about $1 per $1,000 of state equalized valuation annually. The polls will be open tomorrow from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Ann Arbor League of Women Voters will conduct a telephone informational service with respect to the school elections during voting hours tomorrow. Information may be obtained by calling 971-4937 or 668-8512. The League asks citizens not to cali these numbers to obtain election results.
