RIPON — A small army of supporters of the Ripon School Bond Measure G spread out over the community Saturday morning contacting some 1,000 selected homes to further explain the $25 million bond.School trustees, a principal, and a retired principal along with a cadre of Riponites joined in the walk with each having 50 addresses to contact. A similar effort is scheduled to take place next Saturday with 1,000 more homes being targeted.School board member Kit Oase organized the event and managed the volunteer effort throughout the morning that kicked off shortly after 9 a.m. The bond will cost voters $8.25 per $100,000 of assessed valuation of their homes. A $300,000 home would reportedly add $24.75 to a homeowners’ tax bill.Consultants were used to prepare maps and information folders for the walkers and pinpointed the voters who they felt might need more information.
