SUMMARY: The Lamar County School District is making another attempt to pass a $117 million bond referendum, initially rejected in May due to low voter turnout. Superintendent Dr. Steven Hampton noted that many residents were unaware of the vote and that it was not held at regular polling places. To increase awareness, the bond vote will be included on the November 5th general election ballot alongside presidential and local votes. The bond aims to fund the construction of two new high schools and a middle school, as well as a gymnasium for Lumberton Elementary. Community members are actively promoting the bond through outreach efforts.
