Byron, MN (KROC-AM News) - A special election has been scheduled this spring in the Byron School District.

The proposal also calls for updates to the kitchens at the Byron Middle Intermediate Schools, upgrades to the Middle School athletic facilities, improvements to transportation infrastructure, and the renovation of facilities used by Byron’s Community Education and Early Childhood programs.

The Byron School District has scheduled a series of 18 community meetings concerning the school bond issue referendum during March, April, and early May.
