A poll is being conducted to determine how voters will cast their ballots in the upcoming special election for a proposed school millage increase.
The Arkadelphia Board of Education is seeking approval for a 3.0 millage increase to fund the construction of a new Arkadelphia High School, which is estimated to cost around $62 million.
The new facility would feature a safe room, fine arts auditorium, career education center, and an arena gymnasium, and would meet the state's warm/safe/dry requirements, which the current AHS facility does not meet.
The project aims to provide a safer and more modern learning environment for students.
