Kennewick School Bond, Take 2: May 19 Election Date

Mar 24, 2009 Kennewick Schools

After coming with one percent of having their school bond measure passed earlier this month, the Kennewick School District has voted to put the matter back in front of voters. And the next try at getting the bond passed will happen on May 19th.

KSD has posted this statement on their web site:

The bond amount and projects included have not changed. The bond measure received 59.3% approval in the last election, just shy of the 60% required to pass. However, less than 50% of the registered voters who received ballots returned them. The district hopes to engage more voters in the process in the May election. Your vote counts.

So, expect a PR blitz in the next couple months. The district will have to move quickly — ballots will start to arrive in mailboxes in late April, essentially one month from now.

If you’re not familiar with the bond measure, you can read the information site that KSD has put together. There’s an email address listed there if you have specific questions, too.
