KLGR-area school bond and levy issues update

Preliminary results show two-thirds of the school bond issues and levies in the state were approved by voters in Tuesday’s election. KLGR-area results include:

BOLD: voters approved an approximately $40 million bond levy 66-34 percent for maintenance and updates of district structures.
Lac Qui Parle Valley: voters approved approximately $6.5 million for school improvements and land acquisition 58-42 percent.
However, in Montevideo, voters closely rejected both questions on the ballot: $49 million to convert several schools to different grades and for a high school remodel, and $11 million for an auditorium.
