Buffalo County election results

Alma School District voters Tuesday passed a $3 million bond issue to raise money for facility improvements and authorized raising taxes by $985,000 to $1.2 million over the next three years.

The bond issue was approved 382 to 187 and override of the districts revenue limit on school taxes for three years passed 371 to 195.

A bond issue calls for borrowing money through issuance of general obligation bonds to install a new heating and cooling system, replace windows and upgrade lighting and digital energy controls.

A tax referendum to raise more money for operating expenses gave the district authority to surpass its revenue limit by $295,000 in 2016, up to $435,000 in 2017 and up to $495,000 in 2018.
