Helena voters turn down school bond

Voters turned down the $70 million infrastructure bond proposed by Helena Public Schools that took years to develop.

"Needless to say, we are disappointed that the bond did not pass," Superintendent Kent Kultgen wrote in a statement. "It’s been a long process to get (to) today and we are grateful for the extensive public involvement on the bond. The majority of the community told us with their votes that they want something differently."

With only provisional ballots left to count, the unofficial election results put 58.35 percent of voters against the bond and 41.65 percent in favor of the bond.
