Alexander, North Dakota, Heart Of The Bakken, To Double Size Of Its K-12 School -- October 8, 2014

The Dickinson Press is reporting:
A $17.1 million bond levy to double the size of the Alexander, ND, K-12 school was approved by a vote of 72 in favor with just 11 opposed.
School Superintendent Leslie Bieber said the 88 percent approval far exceeds the supermajority needed to pass a bond levy and the board will proceed with bidding the project and breaking ground this spring.
The school in far western McKenzie County continues to swell with new oil boom families and is up to 189 this year, compared to 53 five years ago, and is expected to reach 360 in another three years.
Alexander is on the curve, midway between Williston and Watford City.
