thankful to the community,” Superintendent
Alex Apostle told the Shelton-Mason County
Journal.
Apostle pointed out that voters rejected 16
of 21 school bond proposals throughout the
state.
“It’s a tough climate out there, economi-
cally,” he said.
As for the Shelton School District, “We
have positive momentum going on with our
academies,” he said.
On the initial count, Pioneer had 1,670
“yes” votes for 52.55% and 1,508 “no” votes.
That percentage rose to 52.79% after the sec-
ond count. '
“Our community shoWed their faith and
belief in our schools by voting for our levy,”
said Pioneer Superintendent John Gummel.
“We’ve been working hard to ensure we are
developing students who are both academi-
cally and socially healthy — the whole child,
and our community supports these values.
In order to continue in our efforts to grow
the whole child, we must take different ap-
proaches for student development. Passing
our levy gives us more options and opportu-
nities furthering this practice.”
Gummel added, “I am proud of the work
we all do: parents, students, staff and com—
munity all have ownership in out education
system.”
On the initial count, Grapeview’s levy had
602 “yes” votes and 443 “no” votes for 57.61%.
