TULSA, Okla. (AP) - More than $56 million worth of school bond issues will be on Tulsa-area ballots next month.

Voters will decide Feb. 14 on the packages for Union, Jenks and Skiatook Public Schools.

Union Public Schools proposes a $26 million bond package to ensure the next phase of construction at the district’s new elementary school.

Skiatook Public Schools has a near-$20 million bond package to finish the second phase of construction at Skiatook Elementary and provide funding for a technology initiative for students, among other projects.

The Tulsa World reports (https://bit.ly/2iRpBxA ) that none of the proposed bond packages would increase taxes.

The deadline to register to vote in the Tulsa County election is Friday.
