Early voting underway in Brookland millage issue

Brookland schools are seeking a millage increase to construct more buildings on campus.  A new pre-school building, a new middle school building and additions to the elementary school are part of the proposed 18 million dollar projects that could be built.  KASU's Johnathan Reaves talks with Brookland Superintendent Kevin McGaughey about the projects and how the schools continue to expand.

Early voting in school elections starts today.  Election day is Tuesday, September 17th.
