After a busy March and May school election season, August’s election will be a bit more tame.

Eight districts will ask patrons for just over $67 million spread across bond and levy proposals. The March and May elections were far greater asks — about $473 million was approved and $1.2 billion rejected by voters.

District proposals include Bonneville’s back-to-back ask after a slim failure in May, building upkeep and new facilities in Shoshone, and supplementary levies designated for staff salaries, curricular materials, extracurriculars activities and technology. Here are the breakdowns:

Bonneville

• What: $34.5 million bond issue.
• What’s at stake? The bond will pay for a new elementary school, slated for a $32 million construction cost. The remaining $2.5 million will go towards repairing and replacing roofs throughout the district.
• What’s the process? All bond issues require a two-thirds supermajority to pass. The bond is estimated to cost a total of $37,479,392 at a 3.55% per annum interest rate.
