Voters reject Kila bond request

The Daily Inter Lake

Taxpayers in the Kila School District voted down a $2.1 million bond request Tuesday.

Three hundred fifty-nine of the 501 voters who took part in the mail election voted against the bond issue. There were 142 votes in favor of the bond issue.

More than half the taxpayers in the district, which reaches nearly to Niarada, participated in the election.

Had voters approved the bond request, Kila School would have added two classrooms, a science lab, a new library, a new kitchen and a multipurpose room to its existing space - an 11,423-square-foot expansion.
