Shortly after 9 p.m. on Tuesday, the Harvey County Elections website posted the unofficial results from the USD 439 Special Bond Election. The bond passed with two-thirds of the votes, 319-159. According to the website, registered voters numbered 1,415, which means the 478 ballots cast results in a 33.78% turnout. The bond, which is not-to-exceed $13.8 million, is the first bond passed for USD 439 since the late 1990s. The successful vote authorizes USD 439 to complete several major construction projects that include connecting the elementary and secondary buildings with a secure entrance and a new library/media center, building a new gym with an indoor track, weight room, and storm shelter, and elevating the football field and adding a new 8-lane polyurethane track.
