Voters in the South-Western (Ohio) City school district in Columbus will be heading to the polls in November to decide the fate of a $262 million bond issue. By approving a new master facility plan, the district is trying to capitalize on state dollars that would cover 47 percent of the cost of capital projects. The district has a year to win approval before it loses out on the state money.
