The Hood River County School District’s request for a 57 million dollar bond measure was approved by a wide margin.  71 percent of County voters gave their approval to the measure, with 5,695 saying yes to 2,272 saying no.  District Superintendent Dan Goldman called those numbers humbling.  The measure was designed to extend a current tax rate of one-dollar-85-cents per thousand dollars of assessed value.  It replaces a previous bond issue that has been retired.  Passage of the bond measure paves the way for construction of a new May Street Elementary School, which was one of the major projects in the proposal.  It includes numerous infrastructure maintenance projects at all district schools, a new STEM learning space at Wy’east Middle School, increasing classroom space at most schools, and repair of athletic fields and tracks.
