The Elkhorn Area School District will ask voters this spring for $6.92 million to buy the St. Patrick School building and additional money to keep up with district operational expenses.
The school board Monday approved two referendum questions that will appear on the April ballot.
Buying the school, which the district is leasing for its Options Charter School, would have no tax rate impact because the purchase would come as the district is retiring debt.
Options Charter School has more than 200 students in grades 4K through 12. In summer, the district also introduced the Options Career and College Academy, which gives students a chance to earn technical diplomas, certifications and associate degrees.
The election is April 7th.
