Bond issue
Dolores School District voters will decide on a bond issue in the amount of $380,000 which if approved will be used to finance the construction of a Vo-Ag and industrial arts shop and a science addition to the high school. The funds will also pay for the reconstruction of the junior high and high school locker rooms in the gymnasium and the remodeling and expansion of the art, homemaking and business facilities of the high school building. The same bond issue failed at an earlier election in June and as a result the school lost the Vo-Ag program because the state withdrew funds for the program as the school facilities did not meet the state regulations.
