Wenatchee High School Bond Unlikely To Pass – Special Election Results
Results are in from yesterday’s special election for some districts in North Central Washington.
The $120 million dollar bond to renovate Wenatchee High School currently does not have enough votes to pass. The bond needs 60% approval and with a majority of ballots counted has 55% approval, 44.7% against. County vote tabulators have processed more than 10,000 ballots, with about 1,600 left, which are unlikely to change the outcome. The school district has a 34% voter turnout.
Also on the ballot, a levy lid lift for Chelan Fire and Rescue. That property tax increase was rejected by Chelan voters – 60.5% No, 39.5% Yes.
The Manson Parks & Recreation maintenance and operations levy easily passed with 70% approval.
The Brewster School District educational and operations levy was also approved by voters in Douglas and Okanogan Counties, with 53% voting yes and 47% voting no.
The Chelan and Douglas County Auditor’s offices will continue tabulating ballots this week and released the latest count Friday afternoon.
The wenatchee schools need to learn to live with in the budget and quit asking for more money every year. Look at property tax statement and see how much they get every year it’s a boat load, more than they deserve. They really need to cut back and learn to save.
