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.
