Patrons of the Villisca Community School District have overwhelmingly approved a bond issue – Villisca Public Measure A – amounting to slightly more than $6-million. Unofficial results from the Montgomery County Auditor’s Office show there were 282 Yes votes (93.69%) and 19 No votes (6.31%). A 60% super majority was needed for the measure to pass. Officials say voter turnout was 21.35% of the 1,410 registered voters.

The funds will be used for upgrades at both the Enarson Elementary School and Southwest Valley Middle School–including improvements to heating-air conditioning systems, fire alarm systems, roof replacement, plumbing and electrical systems.
