Lolo school

The good news about the school bond issue in Lolo was a voter turnout of nearly 70 percent. The bad news was the issue failed by a narrow margin... again.

The Lolo School District has sent ballots to residents asking for a second time to approve a bond issue for a much-needed new school.

The effort to keep Lolo school district voters fully informed regarding the upcoming school bond issue request continues, as the date approaches to send out ballots.

The $10 million dollar bond issue to build a new Lolo School failed in October, and now, officials are meeting to decide their next step in expanding the aging facility.

A Lolo boy, 10, will be charged in youth court with assault with a weapon, after allegedly holding a broken ruler to a younger boy's throat.

The good news for Lolo School's bond issue was a 60 percent voter turnout. The bad news was that the issue failed by only 43 votes.

UPDATE - Wednesday, August 21  7:00 a.m. Here is Peter Christian's on-air live update with Lolo Creek Complex Fire Information Officer Cindy Super.

For the last century, students in Lolo have attended classes in a patchwork of buildings, but in September, Lolo property owners will have the chance to build a new $10.5 million dollar K-4 school building, through a bond issue.

The Lolo middle schoolers have a fund raising program going on right now that they hope gets them to Washington DC.
