The timing wasn’t right. The price tag was too large. The location was too congested. No swimming pool. Whatever the reason, the $112 million bond question put forth by USD-418 was met with a solid no by voters Tuesday night. The lack of clarity was also felt by district administrators. USD-418 Superintendent Shiloh Vincent said it wasn’t just one clear-cut reason he had heard for people voting against the bond during the community meetings the district hosted. “Responses have been varied, so that makes it tougher to know what needs addressed,” Vincent said while awaiting the final vote count at the McPherson County Courthouse on Tuesday evening. One thing, though, is clear: the district still needs to address its aging facilities.
