More than 4,000 early votes cast in millage

More than 4,000 voters cast their ballots early in voting for Tuesday’s special school millage election, more than twice the number in the Bentonville School District’s most recent millage vote.

The Bentonville School District is seeking voter approval of a 6.7 mill increase. If approved, the school district would get $128 million. Of that amount, $94 million would go to build a second high school in Centerton. The 6.7 mills, if approved, would push the school district’s millage rate to 50.4 mills.
