Tower City (CSi) For a second time, Maple Valley School District voters have defeated a school bond issue in the Special Election.
On Monday, after counting all absentee ballots, the bond issue failed with just 59.60 percent in favor of the measure. At least a 60 percent was needed to pass. 800 voters cast ballots, compared to 574 votes in the January Special Election, that failed.
The canvassed total in the election held April 14, 2015 was 453 yes votes to 307 no votes.
Seven remaining absentee ballots were opened during the canvasing with three of those votes yes and four no votes. .
Superintendent Brian Wolf says the election was two votes short of a recount.
The plan included renovating an existing structure in Tower City to bring all students under one roof. One school in Buffalo and another in Oriska would have closed if it had passed.
