Lowndes Voters Fail to Pass $47 Million Dollar Bond Issue

Yes: 942

No: 873

**While the majority approved, the school bond issue required 60% of the vote to pass.

The $47 million dollars in bonds would have paid for a new $20 million New Hope High School, major athletic and school upgrades to all three campuses, and computers for every student over the next two years.

The New Hope High project included plans to convert the existing high school into a middle school and rerouting traffic.

A $10 million dollar Career Tech Center was also included.
