The Ventura School Board voted Monday night to place a $2.75 bond issue on the ballot again in July.
    The measure to support renovation and expansion of the district’s high school fell just short of passage in a special election Dec. 4, 2007.  At that time, the issue received 59.96 percent approval.  Sixty percent approval was needed for passage.
    The School Board voted unanimously to repeat the vote in a special election on July 1, rather than wait for the next regular school election in September.  Members noted the costs associated with the proposed project continue to rise and waiting until a September decision could delay a construction start in 2008.
