It's official. In November, the future of the Weld RE-4 School District will be in the hands of its voters.

The Weld RE-4 board of education on Monday evening officially approved the addition of a $179 million bond and $3 mill levy override questions on the November ballot.

The election is Nov. 2.

The school board unanimously voted to include the bond and mill levy override taxes on the ballot following a nine-minute meeting at the district administration building in Windsor.

"Tonight, the Weld RE-4 School Board approved a motion to refer school bond and mill levy initiatives to the 2021 ballot," board president Jennifer Lieber said in a statement. "With the addition of over 800 students in our schools this year, growth in our community is even more aggressive than demographers projected. In approving this motion, our board did its most essential work — work that is in the best interests of our students. The community truly helped shape this measure. Their input helped us get to a package that will provide incredible value to our taxpayers and the best facilities for our students. Because we delayed this measure a year, we have gotten beyond the critical point. This bond measure is now urgent to our district's ability to best serve our growing student population.

The district will send the two ballot questions, on the mill levy override and bond, to Weld County this week and the county will assign numbers to the questions.
