At the school board meeting on August 5, the board approved the petition to put a bond issue on the November ballot. The signatures now go to the county auditor for verification. The language as it will appear on the ballot: "Shall the Board of Directors of the Sergeant Bluff-Luton Community School District in the County of Woodbury, State of Iowa, be authorized to contract indebtedness and issue General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $54,600,000 to provide funds to build, furnish, and equip a new Primary School building as an addition to the Elementary building and improve the site; to build, furnish, and equip a new Career and Technical Education building and improve the site; and to remodel, repair, and improve portions of the High School building, including HVAC, lighting, and electrical systems, building controls, and ceilings?"

The Sergeant Bluff-Luton School District currently has an opening in the Kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year. Opportunities for movement with transfers may arise, potentially opening positions in other grade levels in grades K-3. A reading endorsement is encouraged but not required.  Applicants are encouraged to share specific grade level interest in their cover letter, if desired.  The position will remain open until filled.
