The election was certified last Friday night with a five vote lead for the 8.8 milion dollar bond issue.

This is the fourth time the district has sought a school bond since 2006 --but the first time it's passed.

Superintendent of Schools Stephanie Garber is already thinking ahead to what's next.

"This is uncharted territory for me to be starting to plan for the improvemetns.  I'm sure we'll form a committee and prioritize with coaching from neighboring districts that just finished bond projects like Redmond.  Redmond's been incredibly helpful."

Superintendent Garber expects improvements to the elementary school will be their first priority.

The funds will add classroom space and allow them to fix the district's old heating and cooling system.
