Vallivue School Bond’s Narrow Victory Stands

Caldwell (670 KBOI News) – Here’s a story for those of you who think your vote doesn’t count.

The recount of the Vallivue School District bond election is finished, and the the initial results stand…the bond passed, by two votes.

The Idaho Press is reporting the Canyon County Elections Office conducted the recount Tuesday morning, and it didn’t take long to determine there were 1,615 votes for the bond, or 66.7% percent in favor.

Bonds have to get 2/3 support of the voters to pass.

The $65.3 million bond will go mostly to build a new middle school, but also to renovate Vallivue Middle School.
