Question one passed on a vote of 1782 to 1304 and question two failed by a vote of 1388 to 1694. 3092 of 6639 registered voters voted for a 46.5% turnout.
The sale of the bonds in the amount of $980,000 for the land is tentatively scheduled for June 9. The district will receive the proceeds from the sale of the bonds in mid-July at which time the district will close on the sale of the adjacent properties.
The board will be discussing what to do with the structures on the property until such time the property is needed for a school building. There are several options: 1) sell the structures and have them removed from the premises; 2) put the two houses up for rent.
Voter turn out was very good for an election held away from the general election. The Delano Vote Yes Committee, and Lisa Sequin and Amy Johnson in particular, deserve lots of credit for their efforts in informing the voters and getting out the vote on April 22. Thank you very much for your hard work.

Please don't bring Question #2 up again for the third time in one year. Give us a break.
I would like to know what options there are for the shool board to bring question 2 to the voters again. Like the first person and the majority of the voters, I am sick of the repeated referendums. Is there a law that limits the number of times a vote can be proposed within a specific period of time?
Maybe these two anonymous bloggers have some ideas where to put all the kids in the three buildings that are over-crowded already. It seems that people are mad at the board for doing their job, which is to educate your children in the most cost effective manner. It still comes down to the fact that all three buildings are over capacity!!!
Why did we pay $125,000 per acre for that land.......ridicuous!
