STUDIO BASIN: Ephrata bond measure with Superintendent Ken Murray

On this episode of the STUDIO BASIN Podcast, Reporter Nance Beston sat down with Ephrata School District Superintendent Ken Murray to discuss the Feb. 2026 bond proposal. The $75 million bond measure would replace Grant Elementary and Parkway Intermediate and begin renovations at Ephrata High School. Murray shared the work that went into the proposal and the reasons why the bond was brought to voters - including a lack of space, aging buildings and building new tends to be cheaper than renovation.  

Ballots for the election are due by 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10. Ballots must be post-stamped on or before Feb. 10 to be counted. It is recommended voters visit a local post office to get a postmarked or drop them off in a ballot drop box.  

Further information about the measure can be found at TigersVote.org or by calling the district at 509-754-2474.
