Page 10 - Shelton-Mason County Journal Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023 By Gordon Weeks gordon @masoncounty. com The Hood Canal School District’s pro— posed $33.5-million building bond to cre- ate space for preschool classrooms, an American With Disabilities Act-accessi- ble playground, arts, music and science, and replace a 70-year-old transpm‘tation facility was falling short on the first bal- lot count Tuesday evening. The bond received 955 “yes” votes for 57.22%, and 714 “no” votes for 42.78%. A 60% majority is required for the bond to pass. A similar bond proposal failed by 80 votes in February 2020. “We're grateful for our community’s support for our school,” Superinten- dent Lance Gibbon wrote to the Jour— nal. “Early results show us just 47 votes short of" meeting the 60 percent thresh— old to pass the bond. We’re encouraged that the majority of voters understand the needs in our school are invested in our students’ success. Our staff are g — ing great work and that’s not going to change. Hood Canal is a school to watch the best is yet to come!” Passagl of the bond would add a tax 0161.05 per $1,000 of'homc value. Dur- ing the campaign to pass the bond, Gib— bon said residents currently pay the lowest tax rate of the seven school dis— tricts in Mason County, and passage of the bond would still pay the second low— est in the county at $1.70 per $1,000 of assessed property value. Only the Grapeview School District would have a lower tax rate at $1.44, according to the district.
