Hamilton Co. and city of Holton voters approve bond issues

vote-342x2861-150x150HOLTON, Kan. (AP) — Holton voters have approved a $21.3 million bond issue that will be used to build an elementary school.

WIBW-AM reports unofficial results of Tuesday’s election show the issue passed by a 934-756 vote.

The district says it will buy property just west of the current Colorado Elementary School. It will then demolish the current school and build a two-story structure that will replace both of Holton’s existing elementary schools.

Voters in Syracuse and Hamilton County approved a $6.4 million bond issue for the county’s only school district in Syracuse.

The money from the bonds will be used to build an agricultural-educational building and make several athletic improvements, such as a new gymnasium, football turf and an eight-lane track.

The Hutchison News report unofficial results showed the issue passed by a 358-265 with 28 provisional ballots. Forty-nine percent of the eligible voters cast ballots.

About $1 million in state aid is available for the project.
