Libertarian Party to Host Centralia School Bond Meeting

The Lewis County Libertarian Party will host a question and answer forum regarding the $74 million Centralia School District bond on the Feb. 14 ballot. 

It will be held from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 19 at the American Legion Hall, Grant Hodge Post, located at 111 W. Main St., Centralia.

Superintendent Mark Davalos, several board members and principals have committed to attending the meeting and sharing their goals regarding the schools, according to a press release from the party. 

The American Legion bar will remain open to serve the public during this time.

Jack Thompson, chairman of the Lewis County Libertarian Party, said the meeting is a good time for those interested to meet school officials in an informal setting to ask questions about the bond. 

If approved, the bond would pay for two new K-6 elementary schools to replace Jefferson-Lincoln and Fords Prairie schools, and a “like-new” remodeled high school.
