Both bond proposals for the Wayland Union school district were defeated soundly in Tuesday’s election.

Neither of the two propositions was able to muster as much as 40 percent of the total vote.

With three of four precincts reporting, Proposal I was losing 1,809 no to 1,017 yes. Proposal II was trailing nearly two to one, 1,858 to 966.

This means Proposal I was losing 64% to 36% and Proposal II by 65.8% to 34.2%.

Proposal I, for $34 million, focused on academic facilities. It would have funded an addition to the junior high school and moving all fourth-and fifth-graders to a new elementary school on school-owned property next to the transportation building on Wildcat Drive. Meanwhile, the school district planned to sell Pine Street Elementary, which at 75 years, is the oldest building in the district.

Proposal II was all about athletics. It would have funded a new high school swimming pool, making way for expansion of the band and orchestra program and metal shop programs into the existing pool, 12 new tennis courts to replace the old high school and junior high courts, and would have paid $1 million for artificial turf at the football stadium.

The two proposals together would have cost taxpayers more than $55 million.
