The first step in our efforts to placing a bond issue for school improvements on November's ballot is to petition the county to have the vote placed on the ballot (language is below). To do this we need at least 55 signatures of Glidden residents who are registered to vote. Please look for an opportunity to sign at the next home activity and feel free to stop into the school central office to sign as well. We will be sharing information in the near future and will have plenty of opportunities for community members to ask questions and be informed before making their decision. FAQ #1 Does this project eliminate the current softball field? The answer is No!
