Edison ballots mail Friday
Walla Walla voters will receive their mail ballots Friday to determine whether a new Edison Elementary School is built.
The February 6 bond measure would replace existing 70-year-old Edison Elementary on an expanded current site with a two-story, 63,000 square foot school.
The new Edison would serve approximately 450 students to meet current district elementary capacity issues and long-range community growth projections.
The cost of the project is $19.5 million. The Edison project would increase the local bond rate 20 cents per thousand of assessed valuation. This is an average of $30 per year or $2.50 per month if your house is valued at $150,000.
The goal of the bond is to provide Edison Elementary students the best education possible.
