The measure lost 359 to 291 votes, or 55 percent to 45 percent.
The district âis faced with some hard decisions,â admitted Superintendent Theresa Keel.
If passed, the bond was to be paid back over 20 years. Parts of the school are more than 100 years old, but 83 percent of the bond was for overall âhealth and infrastructure issuesâ Keel told the Belgrade News.
