(KMZA)--Voters in Valley Heights USD 498 in a special election Tuesday rejected two bond propositions for school improvements.
The first proposal, which sought the authority to issue up to nearly $13.9 million in bonds, was defeated by vote of 475 to 230. It would have gone to construct a new elementary school addition, an auxiliary gym/multi-purpose addition and other improvements to the Valley Heights campus midway between Waterville and Blue Rapids.
The second proposal, which sought the authority to issue up to nearly $4.7 million in bonds, failed by a vote of 442 to 244. It would have been used to make other improvements to district buildings.
The Marshall County Clerk's Office reported a nearly 49 percent voter turnout.
The results are unofficial until ballots are canvassed by the Marshall County Commission next week.
